What benefit would federation provide in that case, as people can currently make their own wikis if they want

Okay? How would that effect us

Think of it from a business sense - why would Google go through the effort of creating a hidden backdoor via direct memory access from a YouTube video in order to subtly fuck with the newpipe userbase which probably accounts for a fraction of overall users so small that it is essentially a rounding error in their statistics, in the process potentially opening themselves up for RCE attacks which cost them millions in bug bounties and trust, as well as the hundreds of thousands they would have to spend on the R&D and development of the feature? What do they stand to gain from that?

Sounds more likely to be a newpipe problem than a YouTube problem

It's called chaturbate

To grab people's attention, or because YouTube started autoplaying videos in the mobile app when you scroll past them so they need something to make you click at the start. If you use SponsorBlock you can skip recaps like that

Some people enjoy the "us vs them" exclusive club vibe more than they enjoy the actual content

Technically a password is obfuscation anyway

At my last job I was given write permissions to production and I asked for read only credentials instead, I know my own stupidity

This is why we only ever get PR responses to anything that happens instead of actual information or explanations.

I think they mean verify that it came from that site and isn't just a list of random people
