        It’s a cat and mouse game. Google blocks them, devs find a workaround, Google blocks them…

        Pipepipe is still working for me, at least. Revanced worked last I checked, it’s just a bitch to update, which is why I switched.

        Official piped instances get blocked very quickly, but private, selfhosted instances (eg. piped.30p87.de/api.piped.30p87.de/proxy.piped.30p87.de) work well most of the time

        Revanced still works. If yours stopped working, download the latest patches and make an updated .apk.

        What YouTube killed are YouTube instances by limiting the number of request per IP address.
