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.

    Yeah, reading through these comments, it really becomes apparent that the open-source community invests more time into fixing YouTube than into its own platforms.

    I get that a lot of content is on YouTube, and even with the most amazing PeerTube code/instance/tool, you’d still want that content accessible, but it’s also clear that this is not sustainable.
