Hey, sorry for asking this here… I used to access public instances through a URL like this: https://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.
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.

Via GitHub, you can find their Matrix group where they communicate about all this.
Awesome, thanks for the lead.
