So, starting now, Google started mandating full JS for YT, effectively breaking all third-party clients and locking the site to their official client.
This reeks of DRM.
UPDATE: Installing Deno and installing yt-dlp through PyPi fixes yt-dlp but the very idea that Google is mandating JS to lock down YT in an attempt at pseudo-DRM is still crappy.
UPDATE #2: inv.nadeko.net is working again for now.
Grayjay still seems to work.
What about upcoming and not yet implemented do u not understand?
“Oh but my “shit client x” still works”.
Really steeeve? 🤷♂️

Was about to mention that. I’ve had no issues with it today
Smart tube also looks like it’s working this morning.
