A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

If Piped is basically a proxy to access YouTube videos, who pays for this proxy (which shouldn't be cheap)?
I currently host the official instance, which is entirely run by donations. However, there are many community instances people can switch to in the preferences menu on the site. They are listed at https://github.com/TeamPiped/Piped/wiki/Instances
And I would like to add that one can download "Yattee" (Privacy oriented video player for iOS, tvOS and macOS), and add any instance from this list by adding its URL in Parameters > Instances > Personalized instance. It's really an awesome client.
You have a similar project for Android called Libretube :) Here's a list of projects that use Piped's API: https://github.com/TeamPiped/Piped#made-with-piped
