    What’s a yewtu.be?

    Great video though. It’s like the fetishization of land. Housing is removed from it’s actual usefulness and treated like a commodity to speculate on. Zombie-ism is a great term for it. Housing prices shoot up for no explainable reason. The city becomes more and more empty. It’s a severe contradiction. There’s no even a place to live in a totally commoditfied world.

        Thanks. If it’s an open source front-end does that mean it connects to the same back-end? Are the contents the same? I’m guessing the point is to get around ads, to avoid tracking, to organize videos differently?

          Invidious utilizes a PostgreSQL database to cache video entries. By default every 30 minutes or so it attempts to connect to YouTube’s Servers via their APIs to refresh the local database. Basically invidious is like a RSS News feed reader with extras for YouTube.
