Seeing as Invidious doesn't use YT's api, it doesn't seem like Google has much they can do though, right?

Google appears unaware that Invidious is not using YouTube's official APIs for providing its service. As such, the project team has never agreed to YouTube's terms and can't be in violation of them as a consequence.
So there's no way this actually works in google's favor, right? Invidious isn't even accessing their API.
i sure hope it wont
Go invidious!
