Google is threating privacy-friendly YouTube frontend Invidious - gHacks Tech News

Seeing as Invidious doesn't use YT's api, it doesn't seem like Google has much they can do though, right?

Yesterday a bunch of the common Invidious servers weren't working and there was a huge addition of new Invidious servers. Tells me Googles doing all they can but can't do much, or that's what I hope at least!

Google appears unaware that Invidious is not using YouTube's official APIs for providing its service. As such, the project team has never agreed to YouTube's terms and can't be in violation of them as a consequence.

So there's no way this actually works in google's favor, right? Invidious isn't even accessing their API.
