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.

    Source for what? The network effect? I gave you a link, you can read.

    And youtube is enshittifying.

    These are both well-established effects. My sourcing is finished now. It beats your “pure speculation” unless you have something else you want to add.

      Source for what?

      This:

      They’re enshittifying so much, so fast, and eventually there will be a tipping point.

      or this:

      Every little bit of that network that they carve off while they’re enshittifying brings them closer to the critical point where people can afford to ditch them.

      or this:

      The logic that they can “afford” to lose marketshare is exactly what will make them keep losing it until people migrate en masse and they lose all of their marketshare.

      And youtube is enshittifying.

      Yes, you’ve said that several times.

      These are both well-established effects.

      The fact that it exists is not evidence that it’s taking place here.

      My sourcing is finished now.

      LOL no.

        Oh so you want sources for literally every tiny claim with no evidence that you’ve engaged at all, but you’re sticking with “pure speculation” for your claims and you’re fine with that? Just checking.

          Bruh. You were the one asking for sources… I was simply establishing the fact that neither of us had them.
