What Hacker News says?
I agree with and respect the decision of the Invidious team to not close down shop, but wasn’t it just last week that the creator of Invidious said something like “If Google just asks me to shut it down I will”? Edit: From 4 days ago- https://blog.thefrenchghosty.me/posts/im-not-invidious/ What was said was actually “ If they still ask me for whatever reason to stop working on Invidious, I’ll stop.”
