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.

Newpipe works just fine (Germany)

Same here (USA). I haven't updated my newpipe in a month at least, so it simply never broke. Not a big fan of these unverified headlines.

People love the drama. Our planet is basically a giant baboon rock floating through space. :)
