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.

Hey, sorry for asking this here… I used to access public instances through a URL like this: redirect.invidious.io/watch?v=sTEm--FVNe0 and previously there’d be a long list of public instances, whereas now there are only 3-4. I assume this is due to Google’s attacks. If you have a link available, can you direct me to a web page or discussion or something that explains exactly what’s going on there? I’m interested in learning more about the technical details. Thanks.

Maybe this helps: github.com/iv-org/invidious/issues/4734#issuecomm…

Via GitHub, you can find their Matrix group where they communicate about all this.
