This made me switch to Invidious. Farewell YouTube.

How is it a farewell if you're still consuming Youtube content? Only exodus of consumers from the platform will prompt content creators to look for a different platform and maybe, MAYBE, force google to rethink. If you don't like their practices, move off the platfrom, not just change the client.
