YouTube requires nonfree software (Javascript code) for normal use of the site; as of September 2017, nothing is visible without running nonfree Javascript code. Sad to say, youtube-dl does not help. It works by running the same nonfree Javascript code specified by the pages of Youtube.
For my own freedom's sake, I do not run the nonfree software currently required to view anything on Youtube. I advise you to refuse likewise; what's directly at stake is your own freedom.
For the sake of everyone else's freedom, it is my duty not to post anything on Youtube, or refer to anything on Youtube. I hope you feel the same, and that you join me in refusing.

Can some freetard please explain what in the hell "nonfree javascript" is? It runs in your browser, and it's not compiled, so in what situation would you not be able to see what's being executed?

For software to be free you need to be able to redistribute copies of the code, modify the code, and distribute modified copies of the code. You may be able to study JS that runs on your computer, but you don't necessarily have the complete 4 freedoms. It needs to explicitly licensed under a free software license and, if the code is obfuscated/minimised, a link to the original source code proivded.
I have found even a better website http://www.indofolio.com/

People who insist and swear by using only free software are autistic. Nonfree software is superior in every way and free software can never compete with it in terms of performance, stability, and features. Open your fucking eyes anons!
Use Newpipe. It doesn't even interact with YouTube's standard API, and it's all 100% free Java and XML.

youtube-dl is free software (I urge people to avoid the term "FOSS" *),
and it is fine to download things from youtube that way. I've even
done this myself occasionally, but not from my own computer, which
I rarely have an opportunity to do it.
I don't link to videos on youtube because I think most people won't
use youtube-dl to view them. Also because I rarely have an
opportunity to look at them, and I don't want to link to them if I
have not seen them. Also, watching a video is slow and usually not
worth the time.

This is unironically how I use youtubeimport youtube_dl
from flask import Flask, redirect, request
ytdl = youtube_dl.YoutubeDL({'format':'best'})
app = Flask(__name__)
@app.route("/extract")
def hello():
global ytdl
page = request.args.get('url', '')
vidurl = ytdl.extract_info(page, download=False)['url']
return redirect(vidurl,code=302)
app.run(host="0.0.0.0", port=9001)
hooktube was a alternative till a couple days ago when they started enforcing javascript only for some (((random reason)))

pure html
Fuck off, Richard
>>62237613
"The HookTube frontend now loads its data from hooktube.com/api JSON rather than inserting inline with serverside scripting, so it requires JavaScript. Please give the site permission to run hooktube.com JavaScript in your NoScript or similar plugin. The javascripts are purely for loading data from hooktube.com and enabling interface elements, not tracking or ads."

This is why some of the most popular web and database servers, as well as most key programming languages, are nonfree and proprietary, by the way. That anon's right - free software can never, ever compete.
>>62234660
>nothing is visible without running nonfree Javascript code
So the HTML before wasn't "proprietary"?
Just drink bleach cunts, this is autism taken to the next level.
>>62238437
>most popular web and database servers
Apache, Nginx, MySQL, PostgreSQL... all free
>key programming languages
The only major programming languages that I can think of which are proprietary are Delphi and Matlab. Most of them are free/open source. Even C# is FLOSS now.
>>62234660
may be because youtube is now facebook
>>62238785
>>62238437
This.
And even the ones that are """"""free""""""", are actually sponsored by investors, or actually have paying tiers along with a """"free"""" one.

HTML is markup, not code.
