Invidious is it effectively dead

Who knows if they can actually gnd a workaround this time. They themselves where unsure about it.

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.

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.
