either this person has no idea how the internet works or they genuinely want us to give ad revenue

Hooktube doesn't have any ads, and if they did, then installing uBlock Origin would block ad revenue from them.

and browser data to nazis

It's not just nazis that are trying to violate your privacy, so use the Tor Browser with everything as much as possible.

And yes, even if they're behind Cloudflare it does cost them money to keep operating it.

Honest question - are you the same person who keeps promoting hooktube with several accounts? Do you have a personal stake in it?

Just wondering why you're so into that platform.

I'm not promoting it, I'm literally advocating for costing Nazis money and DDoSing it and literally teaching someone how to bypass Cloudflare to make more damage to them: https://raddle.me/f/Tech/24207/comment/32611

If we can get 100 requests/s to their API then either Google will rate limit them which will lead to performance degradation for everyone (win!) or Google will block their requests in which case hooktube's maintainer will have to make some more proxies to distribute the load. Because of the way it works I believe that we can perfectly destroy the service since it doesn't scale well.

Edit: Cloudflare can also terminate their account if don't upgrade to the Pro plan if they receive too much traffic from them.
