Hooktube was gutted a while ago by youtube's legal department and is now basically just a pass-through for youtube. The videos now are just basically youtube embeds, and they now slurp up all the data of people that watch them.

Same for invidio.us. The proof is that when YouTube deletes a video, it's not available on invidious either.

That's because the "hook" in "hooktube" is a reference to their fucking noses.

The de facto Hooktube replacement is invidio.us
