<p>I recently stumbled across video link to the site <a href="https://yewtu.be/watch?v=-lz30by8-sU">yewtu.be</a> and found it intriguing. It&rsquo;s not only possible to watch YouTube without <em>being on YouTube</em>, it&rsquo;s also possible to create an account and subscribe to channels without a Google account. I wondered what sort of wizardry was going on under the hood and discovered that it&rsquo;s a hosted version of <a href=https://invidious.io/>invidious</a>.</p>

<p>Wow, this is cool, and <strong>JavaScript is not required</strong>.</p>
<p>I started to use yewtu.be as my primary client for watching videos. I subscribe to about a dozen channels and I really only want to a see list of the latest videos from my subscriptions, and not be the victim of a proprietry algorithm feeding me new content. A few days ago, yewtu.be went down for more than a day, and that motivated me enough to self-host inviduous.</p>
