Invidious is it effectively dead
Who knows if they can actually gnd a workaround this time. They themselves where unsure about it.
works fine for me
The public instances are useless at the moment.
The project isn't dead.
If you only care about a clean UI and no adds, just selt-host it. I'm doing it for a week now with no problems at all.
Google seems to have blocked all datacenter or cloud IPs from accessing YouTube.
Hey, sorry for asking this here... I used to access public instances through a URL like this: https://redirect.invidious.io/watch?v=sTEm--FVNe0 and previously there'd be a long list of public instances, whereas now there are only 3-4. I assume this is due to Google's attacks. If you have a link available, can you direct me to a web page or discussion or something that explains exactly what's going on there? I'm interested in learning more about the technical details. Thanks.
Maybe this helps: https://github.com/iv-org/invidious/issues/4734#issuecomment-2365205990
Via GitHub, you can find their Matrix group where they communicate about all this.
Awesome, thanks for the lead.
When the alternative is dealing with the absolute horseshit quantity of ads that YouTube desperately wants to shovel down my throat, I'll take Invidious any day of the week.
It may not be in perfect condition but it's still good enough to use!
Ublock origin blocks YouTube ads though
Yeah, I haven't seen an ad on YouTube in years. I did prefer using Invidious or Piped, but they're basically dead right now.
Self-hosting Invidious works for me.
