Wouldn't interacting through Piped just introduce an additional communication layer, which makes interacting with YT slower? I see your argument with Piped, but what would be the pros of using Piped which outweighs the additional communication costs?
Pro would just be not directly connecting through Google/YouTube servers, and instead using a proxy. Its a nice privacy benefit. I agree it could make things slower, so I don't think it should completely replace direct connection with YouTube, but I just think the option would be nice to have.
Yeah a Piped option would be pretty great tbh, and probably most people wouldn't notice the additional latency maybe?
