      YT’s blocked on it. Fuck you, Google.

      https://github.com/futo-org/grayjay-android/issues/2351

      If Google’s going to be further tightening YT to the degree where they might roll out DRM platform-wide as opposed to just limiting it to movies on the platform, I’m about to seriously start looking for stuff to watch on PeerTube because YT is not long for the world and will probably start pushing away anything that isn’t AI slop at some point in terms of content.
