Why is there only one invidious instance left?

yes you can

Even YT on browser for both my tablet and laptop have gotten mad at me and thrown a hissy for forcing me to login. Less of a problem on my Laptop, because I use Freetube to watch on there, and on my Phone I use Revanced. But man, I just hate watching on my Kindle now, because that shit is old and can barely run Firefox (got it via aurora store, not even in the Amazon appstore
) and YT on browser is ass. I tried NewPipe and it crashed all the time, so I got the for PipePipe cause I'm a weeabo, and it worked well but now I get the blocked IP every other day. My tablet crashed when I tried to download Revanced YT on there, so I gave up. -
Apart of Invidious, also FreeTube, which works with Invidious, don't work well anymore, it listed the searched Videos, but they are not playable. As workarround I set the SMplayer as extern player, so I can watch the Videos, clicking on the little icon down left of the Video Thumbnail, or open the Video direct in the "Open URL" of the SMplayer. This still works fine, also with the URLs from a lot of other streaming sites. SMplayer is the Graphic interface of the Mplayer.
Anyway, Google is killing all front-ends which cut of the Video ads. I think, there is a need to search an alternative to YT (maybe Odysee?) -
Best thing you can do is host it yourself, and keep it private. Doing this has helped with preventing with IPs getting blocked.

Stop using company phones for personal use. Wtf are you thinking
-
Make me.

I mean I'm just trying to help.
Just so you know, this attitude is signing the "I acknowledge I'm stepping in shit and have no right to complain when shit gets on me later" line.
I'm not trying to side with your boss here, this advice is for your own good.

Dude. I don’t care about what you think.

I think the best thing to do is selfhosting your own instance
piped is doing a great job with their script to install with docker ! Yes I know this takes away the privacy feature allowing google to get your public IP and other annoying metadata... However all the rest works as expected !It has some quirks right now though... But they are very close in solving the issue (already done with LibreTube ).

That's what I did. Used a random sbc I had laying around, put on invidious with docker and run. Works. Age restricted videos are an issue though.
-
If it takes away the privacy, why do it at all?
-
its just the ip, you can use a vpn
-
No sponsors, no ads, customizable and watch YouTube videos without a premium account?
-
And lighter UI. Pretty important for when you're on a system with limited ram, like the steam deck.
