Y a pocos días de liberar el código de Hooktube, se cierra el proyecto, se vuelve a activar la api de Youtube, e incluso ahora no usa más el reproductor nativo sino que usa el de Youtube, el desarrallador agradece a todos los que lo apoyaron económicamente o creando complementos para Hooktube, aclara que ahora es solo una versión liviana de Youtube, inutil para el 90% de los usuarios que se preocupan por no darle sus datos a Youtube o para evitar censura de gobiernos.

A su vez le da el apoyo a Bitchute por estar desarrollando una verdadera alternativa a Youtube.

"Changelog

rest in pieces
It was a good run, 1.5 years. Started as a quickly made addition to the norbot project, and within long the server had to be upgraded several times. Of course YouTube Legal was an inevitability at that point.
Special thanks to the many people who created plugins and extensions for hooktube, /g/, the five people who donated anonymously, and BitChute for working hard on a real YouTube alternative. HookTube will remain operational in the present state for those who only needed it for performance reasons. See you in the next project.
July 16: YouTube api features are back but mp4 <video> is replaced with the standard YT video embed. HookTube is now effectively just a light-weight version of youtube and useless to the 90% of you primarily concerned with denying Google data and seeing videos blocked by your governments."
