    Piped is not a mirror, it’s just like a backdoor access to the original YouTube video.

    So if you can access it on YT, you can access it on Piped

        Piped can’t die. It’s just software. Maybe one instance can “die” and go offline for some reason but there are thousands more.

        Same for Invidious.

            The bot OP is talking about links to a single website. But the code running the site is used to run many sites like it. Similar to how Lemmy works.

            That’s my understanding, anyway. I haven’t looked too much into it, so I could be wrong.
