I’m not sure how piped will be able to handle all the traffic when it gets more popular.
As far as I understand it - piped proxies the traffic between youtube and yourself.
And libretube uses piped in the backend. So all traffic has to go through the piped servers. Not sure if they will be able to scale this up…
Yeah the backplate is very simple to swap, but the front is more involved and takes some time to swap
