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.

watching less youtube was one of my resolutions this year, it’s not going very well. remind me to skip the trash and watch more movies / read more books instead

i had that same resolution last year, and in the end youtube drove me away from YouTube, I watch about 1 video every two months but even that is usually just for nostalgic reasons. I have no desire to watch YouTube anymore, even though I used to watch at least 5 hours a day. All that because of their anti consumer actions.
