Recently Youtube tries to third party apps as of 2024 new policy, starting from April, all third party must comply with Youtube API. What's the state of clipious then?

Clipious doesn't use Youtube API it uses invidious' which itself doesn't use Youtube API I believe so clipious should be safe from this but keep in mind that invidious is doing something that youtube doesn't like it will likely try to block it one way or another.
