    It’s not easily block able as it scrapes the YouTube website. They’d have to stop having a website for that to happen.

      Honestly curious if they’d ever consider that, considering how popular watching youtube on the phone is, so I could see them trying to get even desktop users to use an app to prevent 3rd party launchers

      If they did though, it would probably cause at least a decent number of people to try to find alternatives

      At the end of the day, the main way the fediverse gets new users is the big tech companies screwing up
