There's been a couple of cases of #FreeTube users experiencing 429 errors in the past day or so. I've written a new blog to go into more details on what this error is and why you may be experiencing it. I also go over some ways to prevent it and our plans for preventing it moving forward. Check it out here.

Here are my thoughts on the recent announcement of Invidious shutting down soon. I also go over what this means for both Invidious and FreeTube in the future. If you have any questions regarding this, please let me know.

@marie_joseph@eldritch.cafe
I think my wording was rather poor in my last post so I'll reiterate.
FreeTube will still be maintained and functional at the end of all of this. A lot of work will need to be done to get to this point. Whether it gets done before Invidious shuts down is another story. The changes that needs to be made are what I'd like my future announcement to be about.

Hey all,
It was recently announced that Invidious will be shutting down in September. I don't know for sure what will happen to the project. I'll be making an announcement on what this means for FreeTube as soon as I have time.
