Why is there only one invidious instance left?

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

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.

YouTube has been cracking down on alternative frontends.
Vanilla Invidious currently doesn't work well,
so most hosters paused and/or gave up.Fijxu runs a fork of Invidious,
with their own modifications implemented to circumvent the blocks, here's the source code if you're interested:
https://git.nadeko.net/Fijxu/invidiousI've got big respect for Fijxu,
he's been doing a very good job of keeping Invidious alive + fighting against the YouTube crackdown lately, basically all on his own.If you can please consider:
- Donating for their work/hosting
- Hosting their fork on your own
- Solving open issues with pull requests to their fork
All the above can help Fijxu,
since currently he's mostly fighting a big tech giant all on his own.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 ).

Best thing you can do is host it yourself, and keep it private. Doing this has helped with preventing with IPs getting blocked.
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?

And lighter UI. Pretty important for when you're on a system with limited ram, like the steam deck.
