      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!

      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.
