>>2577082 FYI FUCKING HOOKTUBE IS DEAD STAWP USING IT

Hooktube links do't work most of the time anyway, I get a "Error 524 Ray ID: 4497xxxxxxe9200 • 2018-08-13 02:17:26 UTC

A timeout occurred"

You shouldn't bother with it anymore anyway, Youtube made it shut down most of it's features. From it's changelog

"rest in pieces

It was a good run, 1.5 years. Started as a quickly made addition to the norbot project, and within long the server had to be upgraded several times. Of course YouTube Legal was an inevitability at that point.

Special thanks to the many people who created plugins and extensions for hooktube, /g/, the five people who donated anonymously, and BitChute for working hard on a real YouTube alternative. HookTube will remain operational in the present state for those who only needed it for performance reasons. See you in the next project.

July 16: YouTube api features are back but mp4 <videois replaced with the standard YT video embed. HookTube is now effectively just a light-weight version of youtube and useless to the 90% of you primarily concerned with denying Google data and seeing videos blocked by your governments."
