    This video at this link does not play and frankly I find it baffling that so many people and bots keep pushing a platform that flat out doesn’t work. It doesn’t. Piped doesn’t work at fucking all. Can we give it a rest already?

    Tldr: shitty bot

      Even as far a alternative youtube frontends go, I’ve had better experiences with Invidious instances. Also, if you’re on mobile, Newpipe can open Invidious links, but not piped links.

        I’d be totally satisfied with these bots if the links just worked. Doesn’t even need to work well. Just be able to play the video. I’ve tried 10+ times, never had a video play yet. Tried mobile, mac, linux, nothing.

      I blocked them for that very reason, LMAO.
      I have to hit the play button like 30 times for it to even register that I clicked it.
