As of late, invidious has become pretty much unusable for me. All the instances either don’t work or are very slow, and as nobody knows Crystal more and more bugs keep cropping up (e.g. right now search is broken on all instances).

Are there any alternatives? I know of FreeTube but its client is Electron which is a no-go for me. I also know of youtube-dl, but I’m more interested in a website I can use to watch YouTube while proxied.

    However, another thing I’ve been doing, which is the long-term solution, is watching more PeerTube.

    Yeah PeerTube is awesome. I really wish literally any of those I follow on YT moved there though. I was hoping the recent controversy over YT turning on ads on all videos would make some people switch, but nope…

      There’s channels like CJU Games and Minetest Videos whom Youtube gives a fuck for paying them. How can’t they move to a Peertube instance?
