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.

Feel free to discuss this politely on Matrix or IRC.

Yeah this is also a frustration I have. I dont want to sign up for patreon or Google just to support someone. Give me a Kofi, liberapay or monero option.

That won’t help the content creator as much with their taxes is my assumption as to why we don’t see it often. Whereas it’s probably a lot easier to report their revenue from patreon.

Does google/patreon do country/state/county/province tax calculation? I'd be surprised as when I was working DoorDash they wouldnt even do as much as a free trial of TurboTax to get you started. The wrote you a check and it was on you to figure the rest out

I was thinking for ease of documentation not sure what they offer. But they give you paychecks vs random crypto lol
