Fix watch page breaking when subscriber count is missing
Pull Request Type
Description
YouTube is removing subscriber counts for auto-generated channels like the topic ones. Currently the watch page always expects there to be a subscriber count with the local API
Testing
(Invidious returning 403s for the music streams when proxying is disabled is a separate issue, guessing youtube doesn't like the IP of the machine requesting the watch page and the machine requesting the streams being different for music videos)
