On June 8, 2023 Invidious received an e-mail from Google/YouTube to ask the project to be stopped. Even though this e-mail is invalid from the start (since Invidious doesn’t use any part of the YouTube API and doesn’t do anything illegal), some people people asked me why I’m not stopping my work on Invidious, so here’s the explanation: The e-mail is addressed “To Whom It May Concern”, the reality is that it doesn’t “concern” me.

      But they caught me writing programs (It wasn’t me)

      Saw me scraping on the message (It wasn’t me)

      They even caught me on the repo (It wasn’t me)

      They said I even had a homepage (It wasn’t me)

    I’m kinda confused by the “Ill stop working on it if they ask me to” part. Do they not care if they work on Invidious or not? Seems kinda strange. I wonder if I misread something.
