Google is blocking Tor and most (if not all Invidious instances) from reaching Youtube - how should the fedi respond to this DoS? (www.ggtyler.dev)

When Google sabotages network neutrality by blocking Tor and Invidious instances, is it wise for the fedi to facilitate the sharing of #Youtube links?

Fedi instance operators would probably not tolerate links into Facebook’s walled-garden if people were to start polluting an otherwise open community with them. So Youtube links should probably be treated with contempt during periods where Google’s DoS attack is underway.

I'm commenting to follow this discussion. I've used invidious, and freetube for years to avoid being tracked by yt. But that strategy doesn't work as well as it used to. How shall we proceed?

If they succeed in fully blocking mitigations, then I will simply drop youtube (and the content it holds hostage) from my life. I've done this with other proprietary abusers.
