What is your private way of watching YouTube videos when Invidious or Piped are not working? (discuss.tchncs.de)

Many YT privacy frontends are down it seems. YouTube is cracking down on these servers fast. Both Invidious and Piped services are not working now.

So how are you watching videos now? Just plain youtube[dot]com with unblock and VPN?

Downside is that you'll have to regularly delete all the videos you've downloaded.
