What is your private way of watching YouTube videos when Invidious or Piped are not working? (discuss.tchncs.de)

Many YT privacy frontends are down it seems. YouTube is cracking down on these servers fast. Both Invidious and Piped services are not working now.

So how are you watching videos now? Just plain youtube[dot]com with unblock and VPN?

I wish we had some sort of way to copy videos from YT to PeerTube on some sort of on-demand way.

Like tell PeerTube the video you want, wait a few minutes, and then its available for everyone. Then it auto deletes after X days if it has had 0 views.

Edit: oh man, you could even have a Lemmy bot do this automatically when it sees a link to a YouTube video.

PipePipe on mobile works fine.

On mobile, Firefox plus ublock works well. There are a few issues like losing your position if the page reloads, but it works pretty consistently otherwise.
