As it stands, both Piped and Invidious are dead.
Because od that, I almost completely stopped watching youtube but l’d still sometimes like to check what the people I follow posted (I used to do that via Piped).
Are there any new ways of following people without actually using Google? I’m aware of the tools that download new videos as they come out but I’m more interested in just “subscribing”, kinda like RSS?
Ideally it would be on iOS
I just use Newpipe
However, Piped and Invidious are not dead. YouTube is trying really hard to kill them but they still work somewhat. It is a cat and mouse game.
They’re effectively dead. I haven’t ever found a single instance that works for more than a few days in years, despite people constantly recommending them.
