Update 21/09/2024: #4734 (comment) EDIT by @unixfox: The Invidious team is aware of this issue. It appears that it affects all the software using YouTube. Please refrain from commenting if you have...

EDIT: For those who are too lazy to click the link, this is what it says

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.

      Which at the end of the day is your choice, as much as it’s theirs not to use foss tools like mastodon and peertube

      Like wanting to donate but they only offer proprietary, big corpo middlemen options like Patreon or Paypal or Microsoft GitHub Sponsors where they scrape off the top without adding any value.

          That won’t help the content creator as much with their taxes is my assumption as to why we don’t see it often. Whereas it’s probably a lot easier to report their revenue from patreon.

              I was thinking for ease of documentation not sure what they offer. But they give you paychecks vs random crypto lol
