Hello,

Sad news for everyone. YouTube/Google has patched the latest workaround that we had in order to restore the video playback functionality.

Right now we have no other solutions/fixes. You may be able to get Invidious working on residential IP addresses (like at home) but on datacenter IP addresses Invidious won't work anymore.

If you are interested to install Invidious at home, we remind you that we have a guide for that here: https://docs.invidious.io/installation/..

This is not the death of this project. We will still try to find new solutions, but this might take time, months probably.

I have updated the public instance list in order to reflect on the working public instances: https://instances.invidious.io. Please don't abuse them since the number is really low.

Feel free to discuss this politely on Matrix or IRC.

People can always just stop using YouTube. It’s getting laughable the level of Stockholm syndrome-like addiction people have for that shit service.

I pay for Nebula and, although there's a lot to watch there, skimming through the boring stuff is horrible.

Same. I mostly watch a handful of channels:

various TLDR channels
Morning Brew - not a fan of the hosts, so I'll catch maybe one/week
LegalEagle - anything not about celebs
the Friday Checkout
NotJustBikes and other city infra-related channels - they don't post often though
RealLifeLore
Wendover/HalfAsInteresting - the host annoys me a bit, but the content is usually pretty good

There's a ton of nonsense there that I don't like, but now that I found a set of channels I do like, I mostly just look in the "library" tab so I don't have to see the other crap.

Knowing better and Philosophy Tube are both rather good as well. I do miss Casual Criminalist from YouTube, otherwise Nebula has my bases covered.

Haven't tried either one, I'll give them a follow. Thanks!

I think it's a shame that CGP Grey and Philip from Kurzgesagt both bailed early on. I never quite got why, but I guess Nebula for them was just canibalizing their lucrative youtube/patreon business.
