Apparantly, YouTube has fully rolled out their blocking of residential IPs. Things such as Freetube do not seem to be affected.

Don't do Youtube a favor by saving the videos it hosts.

The more people are inconvenienced by Google, the more Youtubers are squeezed by Google and the more annoyed subscribers they lose, the better for alternative platforms.

Let Youtube enshittify itself to oblivion.

I doubt Youtube's enshittification would do anything good for its competitors. Youtube is kinda shitty already, everyone knows it and everyone whines about it, yet no one switches.

Also hosting videos is unprofitable, Google only sustains Youtube to have data to feed AI on and to maintain market dominance. Competitors stand no chance.
