  • Some guy on the street asked me if I knew where the nearby salad restaurant was. There was only 2 ways this could go. Either he wanted a salad for lunch. Or, as you suggest, he was testing me. Was I apart of this fabled salad group or one of the forsaken “others”? The pressure was on to say the least. I don’t normally believe in a higher power, but I said a quick prayer for help to get me through this challenge. I gathered all my strength and told him “just a block that way” as I pointed down the street. Now, I could only wait for what felt like a millenia. Finally, he let slip the words “cool. Thanks” as he headed in that direction. I think i passed his nefarious test. But the only thing I’m sure of is that I barely made it out of there in one piece.

    Edit: originally, the comment I replied to said that no question was innocent






  • I don’t know how these specific apps work, but youtube could change their API at any time, and those changes could effect any app using it. A change could be made that would block access, similar to the reddit api change.

    If a tool is scraping the youtube website, any change to the website could effect the scrapers, but the scrapers could be updated to work with the changes. There is the possibility of down time, but not really for permanent loss of access. This is not really worth chasing for youtube because it would be a never ending game of cat and mouse.

    I also found i like Youtube Revanced over NewPipe. It let’s you sign in to youtube but removes all the ads, let’s you skip in-video intros and ads as well.
