Shouldn't you be dogfooding your stuff early on?

Shouldn't you be dogfooding your stuff early on?

You're using "Dogfooding" as if Freenet has their own video hosting platform: they don't (AND you would still only be able to see the video with an out-proxy that had embeds that Github allowed [the project site is hosted here]).

Your gripe should be that they're hosting the video on Youtube, which as owned by Google does not honor user privacy, which is antithetical to their project ethos, and that there are other options that better closely relate to what they're doing.

They should host on Odysee/LBRY or Peertube. At the very least it's hosted on X (and Elon cares far more about your privacy than the old owners, although he could do much, much more) and Rumble (where I don't think they'd care until it because antithetical to their positions).

As for the sign-in part: that has nothing to do with the project. If you're accessing Youtube from a Tor route, it will require you to prove you're a human thanks to people using it as a proxy to increase view-count and upvotes...a totally separate problem. And then it's not even all the time...

We provide links to the same video on X and Rumble. Eventually we'll have YouTube alternatives on Freenet but in the meantime I think purity testing tools is counterproductive.
