Anyone who’s been using privacy-respecting frontends for some time will recognise Piped. A YouTube frontend with no ads, integrated SponsorBlock, return dislikes, and a customisable UI.

Piped also allows you to subscribe to as many channels as you want without ever logging into a Google account. You can export your subs list from YouTube and import them to Piped seamlessly.

If you’ve never heard of it, give it a glance at https://piped.video. For more instances, check here.

      That youtube don’t know YOU scrape their website. in fact, they don’t even know you’re watching a video.

        However, YouTube rate limits big Piped instances, so it’s better to use NewPipe or a small instance.

            A couple days ago I found a service called Farside, apparently you can replace youtube.com with farside.link/piped to redirect to a random smaller Piped instance. It works pretty well for me, although sometimes I just use il.ax because I’m just lazy and don’t want to type that much.

              That’s nice!

              Although, IDK how it works with piped, but because I’m using SearX for years and instances can log things if they want (and some did), I got used to briefly go over the service’s policy. I need to check if piped instances can log things before using random instances.

                That’s fair, I never really have done that before or thought about doing that. Maybe I should. At just farside.link, they have a list of Piped instances that are part of the servuce at that moment. Maybe you could find instances to use there instead.
