Do you have anything better to contribute to solve the YT problem than what I have contributed in this thread?

Apparently speaking out against false or at least misleading claims, instead of making them.

Our servers are secured with SHA-384 Signature Algorithm

This is a meaningless sentence.

meaning we cant see the videos you watching, things you search

This is just not true. Go to a video on their site, the browser requests the video id as cleartext from their server. Search for something, your browser sends the search term as cleartext as well. There is nothing encrypted beyond the standard, it's all visible to them.

This is how all YT proxy sites do it, but they don't claim to use some sort of special encryption. It's widely accepted that you have to put some amount of trust into whoever is hosting the instance you are using, because they can see the things you watch and search for.

Rules:

  1. Be civil and nice.
  2. Try not to excessively repost, as a rule of thumb, wait at least 2 months to do it if you have to.
