In the lght of recent events (gloogel complaining about uBlock) I tried to investigate other available options out there. While Piped.video definitely works, it looks like it is only fluid for popular videos, and as soon as I want to watch something a little more obscure, it is basically impossible, I have infinite wheel spinning.
Have anyone here tried self hosting Piped/ Invidious, and could share a feedback about performance /usability ?
I run a private invidious instance, it’s been bliss amidst all the adblock threats from YouTube. Hope it never stops working, I would quit on YouTube for good if it did.
(Well there is also yt-dl, but i find it less convenient)
Not doing that. Would literally give up on YouTube if they blocked all the frontends.
