Or LibreTube

OK, I've been dicking around with LibreTube for 4 hours now and I can't figure out how to, or if I need to, create a login, and where exactly I would do that, given the several sources under "instance".

For the sake of fuck, why are so many open source projects gut-wrenchingly awful at providing any beginner user info?

The easiest solution is to go to Settings -> Instance and toggle both "Disable Piped proxy" and "Local stream extractions"
