EDIT: For those who are too lazy to click the link, this is what it says

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.

We need a competitor badly.

Paying Nebula subscriber here 🙋‍♂️

Pony up or your call for a competitor doesn’t mean anything. People don’t want ads? Fine. There has to be another revenue stream. Server capacity costs money, making a website and app cost money, and video creators need to eat.

I do pony up for other services (not YT Premium because I won't give Google any money) and support a significant number of creators via Patreon, giving them more money by far than they'd ever see from me from ads. And I've spent thousands of hours on my own dime making written content and giving it away for nothing with no ads or tracking. So yes, I agree.

Can you say more about the written content part? I’m not sure I understood. Are you giving YT creators scripts for videos?

[–] beejjorgensen@lemmy.sdf.org 1 points 1 month ago

Not that; I just write free books on how to write software.
