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.

Ahh, that makes sense. you're not the target demographic of YT. you're too educated and too driven and you learn through more advanced methods.

that's OK, great for you and I'm happy that you're so successful. now, what about the millions of users that don't have the means to access higher education and training provided by their employers? what about the 18yo kid living in a leaky trailer with their methed out mom or dad that's looking for literally any way out they can afford.

perhaps in your quest you surrounded yourself with ultra successful people and forgot that there is a whole world with billions of people that do not have the same means as you do.

not trying to diminish the hard work and efforts you have clearly applied, but just because you did doesn't mean everyone can.

by removing easy access to content provided by these communities, even if they are wholly or partially incorrect, it only deepens the chasm between long term professional success and endentured struggle.

I will not support any action that denies a life the opportunity to rise above their status and claim a better life for themselves and their family. for every one person who stands above their born status increases the potential successes of those around them, and even cooler, it's a feedback system. your successes become their successes, and their successes become our successes.

Just to make it clear, I'm not trying to diminish your success I'm just trying to establish my perspective on your perspective so that we can share in a perspective that includes our success.

Oh no I totally understand that I'm privileged as all hell.

That said I also learned a helluva lot more outside of my degree during said degree and after.

Formal teaching is really like YouTube and it's meant to introduce you to what you don't know more than anything, and as I said that's a good thing as an introduction, but the vast majority of content is written, and you learn far more from it.
