Youtuee

Funny proxy service that impersonates youtube while at same time redirecting everything to rick roll

To use simply, click share on a video then replace be with ee (youtu.be -> youtu.ee)

By default it will try to use yt-dlp, theres an option to call the official api if you include the YT_API env var, more info on youtube api keys
