I’ve noticed than most of them have stopped working including all invidious and piped instances

    That’s not a free software license though. Libre software must give you the right to run, study, modify and distribute the code. It doesn’t do that to my knowledge.

      Correct it does not technically fit into FOSS, however the source code is still open for review, allowing you to run, study and modify the code. The only restriction is distribution.

      If your personal model is to strictly use FOSS, then this program is not for you.

      However, if your model is more about the ability to make personal modification, or to study the code to verify it is not malicious or spying, then this program allows for that.

      It is also worth noting this program isn’t technically free (money), but there are no checks if you actually paid. It’s up to you and your own morals to pay or not. For me, I consider it no different than an obnoxious “buy me a coffee” button - if it bugs you that much, go delete it from the code you run.

        Exactly, I don’t want software that doesn’t respect the 4 freedoms. It makes forks impossible and still gives the developer unjustified power.
