So a little while ago, @AOU and I were looking at invidious and realized something, it is open source. So we decided Poal.co should host an instance of it and then @AOU did his magic and made it pretty and tube.poal.co was born! I hope everyone enjoys the new feature and enjoy that now all videos expando's for youtube videos, invidious videos and a few others will not be able to track you.

Cheers.

One last ?. Is it likely YT will "retaliate" against Invidio and you to prevent this in the future? They can't be happy unless it still counts clicks for the advertisers. But still the advertisers can't be happy they're not reaching eyes. It's always all about the money.

I went into this one expressly expecting eventually youtube will retaliate. I fully expect that will happen eventually. Thats why this is phase one of something I hope to be able to accomplish eventually.

Most ad-blockers can block Jootube ads.

They technically have no way to block loading a video link (which is part of their API) unless they are willing to force people to watch videos from their apps or website.

Thanks for doing this. It's always better to keep it in the family, as it were.

Well, one way I see to avoid this is encoding the ads in-between the video on the fly, so the ads and the video become one. But I guess not even yt have this kind of machine power.

They could definitely burn ads in when they encode video files, like plex does with subtitles.

But it would cost more in power consumption, which means less profit for them.
