For those of you who do not already know, YouTube has issued a cease and desist to the dev team of Invidious, a privacy-focused and ad-blocking front end for YouTube.

Ironically, the YouTube's complaint cites the devs' lack of a privacy policy for the Invidious service.

Luis Rossmann's video gives a good breakdown of the situation. He also mentions that cloning the repo would be a good idea before it gets nuked by github.

Gotta love YouTube’s absolute stranglehold on video

I hate it, but at the same time dread imagining how much money running something like it must costs.
