     @Suiseiseki @Inginsub what does the client matter when the server is extremely proprietary and the content is nonfree?

     @not_benis google tends to prefer to run only free software on their servers, as that serves them - they even attempted to get rid of the proprietary ME software, but failed - of course those computers are googles and not yours.
     
     If you use a free software client that downloads from youtube, you can watch videos in freedom.
     
     There are also some videos on youtube under a freedom-respecting license - but of course you can't exercise that freedom unless you can actually download the video, which free software clients like yt-dlp allow.
     
     google sometimes breaks the free software clients maliciously, but someone releases a fix within a few hours.
     
     running google's proprietary malware JavaScript is never a good idea.

     @not_benis It's not fully free, but the software the whole infrastructure is running is probably less proprietary than what your computer is running.
     
     google prefers free software for security reasons and the flexibility it gives them - they can go and add spyware that serves their interests and run that on their computers.
     
     Of course the AGPLv3-or-later puts a stop to that practice, as if the software is modified to add spyware, google needs to offer the source code to all users who's computation is done by that server and google obviously doesn't want to have to send off hard evidence of their criminal acts - so google has banned software under the AGPLv3 - even for internal-only use.

     @Suiseiseki is YouTube's entire software infrastructure free?
