    I was wondering yesterday why no instance was working, because I always share at least one Invidious link together when sharing YouTube links.

    BTW it’s not fully blocked, if you can install Invidious locally and use it. But that’s not a route I want to go.

    Not only invidious I guess, they want the user to login when too many videos has been watched on an IP address. So also web browsers on a VPN for example

    What does “fully” mean? I’m watching Dan fucking Rath going on a hilarious rant rn on jing.

      According to one of the maintainer

      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.

      Some instances will continue for a bit, but it’s probably a matter of time, or until invidious figures out another method
