This is not about privacy I guess, but I am really uncertain.
Lots of Youtubers also have Peertube channels. Newpipe on Android can play those too, so I always watch the Peertube “mirrors”.
But what is best from multiple points? Privacy, efficiency, saving data resources from nice people?
There are some Invidious instances embedding “googlevideo” javascript, I think those are not proxies and I dont suck their resources that much. The same goes for Newpipe and Freetube, which watch the videos locally, unless they break, they are best.
But then, Peertube on Newpipe? I guess its nice for reliability, anticensorship and “freedom”. But it sucks resources from nice people, and I already have a VPN.
On the other hand, is peertube better than Invidious proxy? I think I suck resources from both, maybe its better to use Peertube here, as they dont get blacklisted, so their servers just have higher usage.
And points? I am curious.
