I question whether lawyers are smart enough to understand what API means sometimes... They clearly aren't using YouTube's API so the whole letter is just false accusation. Maybe read the code first before making stupid allegations? No? This is a shitty for profit company? Makes sense in the current landscape I guess, all the shitty for profit services want to drive themselves into the ground for no reason now.

I'll be honest i haven't read their code. So invidious is just scraping youtube to pull all the data?

Yes. And the big G doesn't care. If they have to lie and say it's abusive and a violation of the ToS, they'll say it is. They're a megacorp, while Invidious is a small open source project.
