For a few months now, users of the Tor Browser Bundle have been unable to access youtube, regardless of javascript and even when turning off tor.

Turns out you need to change your browser agent to something like

Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:10.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/40.0

The videos can then be watched online or downloaded using youtube-dl.

Kinda reminds me of how the dickhead page owner and board admins of 8chan are fighting against tor users.

Why the fuck are you accessing youtube directly anyways lol

What does Google get when you use mpsyt, youtube-dl, mpv or Hooktube? I've used mpsyt with torsocks for low res videos, but I'm probably uniquely identiable regardless, right?

You are not alone in this. The more of us, the less info Google will get. You don't necessary need to download low-res videos, but pick more efficient codecs like VP9.

Enjoy your JavaScript drive-by NSA exploits, nigger.

Ctrl+u and then search for the "ytInitialData" JSON where you'll find all the videos and their IDs on the "videoId" field. In order to search just do it manually https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=op+is+a+fag.

mpsyt has a dependency on pafy. pafy interprets javascript. https://github.com/mps-youtube/pafy/blob/develop/pafy/jsinterp.py

youtube-dl interprets javascript: https://github.com/rg3/youtube-dl/blob/master/youtube_dl/jsinterp.py

mpv depends on youtube-dl for youtube.

i have no idea what the purpose of hooktube even is.

I was able to get it to work a couple months ago I feel.

They don't collect any targeted data unless you are signed in. If they just have your ip they don't tie it to anything. I'm sure they do keep it to use for other statistics though.

I don't watch YouTube, nor do I download the videos anymore. I really don't miss it. It's easier for me to focus on other areas in my life without it. Nonfree JS is bad, but LibreJS has a long way to go still. I still whitelist pages sometimes if I really have to.

That's most often the right way to deal with it.

I've watched hours of complete morons 'debate' ethno-states and use RLM as a friend simulator because it's easier to deal with than my real friends.

But there's also great stuff on there, especially lectures, for a example a German economist explaining why the change to wind and solar doesn't make sense or graphic representations of physical experiments and so on, so there definitely still are good reasons to care about youtube.
