I've self-hosted my own single-user Piped instance for about a year. However, I sometimes encounter problems with video loading times, and some subscriptions don't display new publications until I manually visit the channel. The main reason I chose Piped was because it had LibreTube for Android, allowing me to sync my subscriptions between mobile and desktop.
Recently, I've been testing Invidious and I'm liking it. I discovered that using it on Android as a web app is quite efficient, especially in combination with UntrackMe to automatically open YouTube links in my Invidious instance. Additionally, there's Clipious, an Android app similar to LibreTube but with an Invidious backend. Although it's early in its development, it performs well.
I'm still weighing my options, but I find Invidious to be more stable in terms of loading times and subscription feed updates.
There's Clipious for Invidious on Android:
How would a "pay to download" relay work then? I'm not sure I'm getting how this would solve the issue with Tor?
Isn't a relay with less events (spam) also faster to sync with?
Hey, reach me at SimpleX or by Mail (check on https://kycnot.me/about#contact). I'm no longer using Session for contact. You can also reach me on XMPP if you prefer at kycnotme@conversations.im.
I'm glad you were able to solve the problem, I add the comment I made to another user with the same problem:
Didn't know about this problem. I'll try to add a MariaDB alternative database option soon.

Correct me if I'm wrong but, I think Brave Ads are opt-in. I have brave installed (although I use Librewolf as my main browser) and I've never seen an ad, you just need to disable them from the settings. Ads are just for those who want to earn BAT (the weird crypto token) by seeing ads.
AFAIK they had issues with their monero node sync and it has been solved. I had a warning on kycnot.me for this, but I have now just removed it since I just tested and I was able to withdraw and exchange XMR just fine.
Also, for what I know, they had a ddos attack and their site was unresponsive (for what I also put a warning on kycnot.me the moment I became aware of the issue), seems like the attack is over, as the site was responsive when I was testing a few hours ago.
