#82If you are using Firefox, there's a great add-on called Invidition that you can install. It redirects Youtube to Invidious and Twitter to Nitter. https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/android/addon/invidition/
There is also https://github.com/SimonBrazell/privacy-redirect which works for both firefox and chrome

#83Is it possible to display my "Subscriptions" screen from YT? That's the only thing I use to decide what's to watch next.
I think youtube subscriptions can be exported into opml and then import them into invidious

#84I've been consuming my YouTube videos via RSS and youtube-dl these days. I have a little python script that collects the video urls from the feed, downloads them, and then NewsBlur notifies me of the new videos. NewsBlur has become the way I find new academic papers (arXiv/journal RSS feeds), consume the news, webcomics, and YouTube videos.
Could you elaborate on how you find new papers that you are interested in? Do you just subscribe to RSS sources and going through all of them? Or do you have some way of filtering?

I didn't know arxiv had an rss feed, I usually find interesting papers through reddit, twitter and paperscape. Do you do any filtering on the feed to find the good stuff?
ArXiv feeds are organized by category (more like tags in that papers could be cross-listed, but need a primary category). Daily traffic in different categories is very different. Eg, at some point I used to subscribe to hep-ph/hep-th/gr-qc and they combined to something between 50-100 papers a day. I’d mostly just scan the titles/abstracts, to pull out particularly interesting papers.

#87'Log in with Google' asks me for my google account and password. Wat. No. You should never, ever be asking people for this information, even if you're transparently passing it upstream. This is a tier-one no-no.
I agree. Unfortunately OAuth is impractical for this project, as it requires registering your application with Google. Instead I've done my best to make clear how it works[0][1] and what is stored[2]. As mentioned in a sibling comment Google does not have a good track record with similar projects. AFAIK the only project that provides similar functionality is youtube-dl[3], which works the same way. Important to note…
There's no way for me to verify that what you're running is the same as what you have in GitHub. And for anyone else running it. You should disable this feature.

That reminds me of Stallman browsing the web with wget and cat hahaha.

Why should he? It‘s your choice to use it or not. If you feel uncomfortable, go and selfhost it. Or don‘t use it at all. But there is no reasoning to prohibit it for everyone.

#90How will this website not be killed by Google lawyers at any moment?
Essentially because it replicates the way a browser works, similar to youtube-dl. I would very much recommend taking a look through [0] for some more info, but one of the main goals of the project is to avoid use of any Google APIs. This also includes login, as mentioned in an earlier comment[1]. 0. https://github.com/omarroth/invidious/issues/130 1. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=21545348
