How is that "legal" though? Will it not be harassed by Google at some point to turn it down?

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

It's not illegal, but maybe against YT terms of service. I've seen reports that google is starting to IP ban piped instances.

I'm taking it with a grain of salt anyway, as I haven't read any first hand accounts. And it would be interesting to see if google really is banning IPs, even ones in aws/azure/linode/gcp(lol)/etc IP blocks.
