also not supporting desktop browsers would be insane, as I'd imagine that makes up a good chunk of ad revenue for them Or at the very least they could start implementing WideVine DRM on their streams. | 06:04:22 |
| @dfx4509b:matrix.org | That would effectively lock YT into the Google client exclusively, and also kill downloaders like yt-dlp. | 06:04:50 |

Or at the very least they could start implementing WideVine DRM on their streams. Not sure how that would work legally considering that most of the content on YouTube that doesn't have DRM is user-generated and YouTube doesn't license the content from the uploaders, so them adding DRM to user-generated content would potentially get them in legal trouble. | 06:13:35 |
| @dfx4509b:matrix.org | So they couldn't go full Netflix/Hulu in any way without getting severely hurt. | 06:14:27 |

So they couldn't go full Netflix/Hulu in any way without getting severely hurt. You can't compare YouTube and Netflix. | 06:19:10 |
|  astrotee joined the room. | 11:06:36 |
 Midou | youtubers would leave unless youtube pay them very well | 12:29:51 |
| Midou | if they try to copy netflix | 12:30:00 |
 iv-bot | <iconoclast_hero> @Midou, looks like I got it working last night. | 12:50:02 |
| iv-bot | <midou> Nice | 12:50:17 |
| iv-bot | <midou> It would help if you tell to others how you did it just in case they stumble to the same problem as you :p | 12:50:45 |
| iv-bot | <iconoclast_hero> "<DFX4509B> Or at the very least they could start implementing WideVine DRM on their streams." oh, i saw widevine and started getting worried. this is a potential negative reaction to invidious by google. | 12:51:46 |
| iv-bot | <iconoclast_hero> hmmm... | 12:52:13 |
| iv-bot | <iconoclast_hero> oh, i am pretty sure that it was that indenting/formatting thing | 12:52:37 |
| iv-bot | <iconoclast_hero> i need to change that password...brb | 12:52:53 |
| iv-bot | <iconoclast_hero> nano's ^T is great. | 13:03:19 |
| iv-bot | <iconoclast_hero> what's that password for btw... and how do i add users? | 13:03:38 |
| iv-bot | <iconoclast_hero> oh they add themselves. | 13:06:47 |
 Onno | Re: YT will start distorting viewer experience for non-compliant clients:
Why won't they just build in a check to see if you're using a recognised client and leave the rest behind? APIs can be subject to change, after all. | 13:07:48 |
| iv-bot | <iconoclast_hero> i wonder if google's sent people to #invidious | 13:13:42 |
| iv-bot | <iconoclast_hero> like as an official directive from a manager that would have been recorded in an email | 13:14:41 |
| Onno | I'm not trying to troll here. I'm worried that they will cut us off with a modified API. | 13:15:02 |
| iv-bot | <iconoclast_hero> not saying you are. | 13:18:23 |
| Onno | Ok | 13:19:03 |
| iv-bot | <iconoclast_hero> let's say this: i know someone who posted some code on how to break Midwest Tape's (who own Hoopla, RB Digital) DRM and they were not happy. | 13:19:34 |
| iv-bot | <iconoclast_hero> the code was posted on github and they sent a cease and desist to github and to the account holder. | 13:20:08 |
| iv-bot | <iconoclast_hero> from Midwest Tape's real counsel | 13:20:37 |
| Onno | Ok, so you're worried about a poison pill? | 13:20:42 |
| iv-bot | <iconoclast_hero> i'm not worried about it at all; i rarely use youtube, but i heard about this on audiobookshelf's discord... | 13:21:15 |
