Are there any working instances of Invidious left? (lemmy.ml)

I really hope the answer is "yes," but gosh-darned if I can find one. The FreeTube app still works as long as my VPN is off, but as for Invidious . . . (also, sorry if this has already been covered earlier).

Self-hosted piped/invidious still working great if you want to follow this route. Everything from no-ads/sponsor block/comments works without any issues.

One downside however, is that you're exposing your own public IP to Google/YouTube :/.

YouTube has blocked a bunch of IP ranges, including residential ones, forcing people to use an account to watch videos. So self-hosting isn't an option for everyone.

Oho? Didn't knew that. Thanks for the info ! Do you know what caused the residential IP block ?

Outside of EU?
To much API calls from the same source?
Something else?

I mean, I don't see way they would block residential IPs with normal api calls from the same source. Or are they full enforcing the account thing on everyone?
