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.
I pay for Nebula and, although there’s a lot to watch there, skimming through the boring stuff is horrible.
Same. I mostly watch a handful of channels:
- various TLDR channels
- Morning Brew - not a fan of the hosts, so I’ll catch maybe one/week
- LegalEagle - anything not about celebs
- the Friday Checkout
- NotJustBikes and other city infra-related channels - they don’t post often though
- RealLifeLore
- Wendover/HalfAsInteresting - the host annoys me a bit, but the content is usually pretty good
There’s a ton of nonsense there that I don’t like, but now that I found a set of channels I do like, I mostly just look in the “library” tab so I don’t have to see the other crap.
Knowing better and Philosophy Tube are both rather good as well. I do miss Casual Criminalist from YouTube, otherwise Nebula has my bases covered.
I also hate the UI tbh. I want the front page to be my subscriptions. Instead you get a weird horizontal scrolling panel on a secondary tab. I wish I could get an inbox, RSS style, so I could either watch them or skip/mark as watched.
Nebula also suffers from the homepage being cluttered with old videos that are no longer relevant. For example I don’t care to watch news and tech videos from 2022.
