he’s been doing a very good job of keeping Invidious alive + fighting against the YouTube crackdown lately, basically all on his own.If you can please consider:

- Hosting their fork on your own
- Solving open issues with pull requests to their fork

Google started blocking them in some way. Even my self-hosted, entirely local-access only instance stopped working.
It got so bad that couldn’t access YouTube on their official app in my company phone without logging in.

Make me.
I mean I’m just trying to help.
Just so you know, this attitude is signing the “I acknowledge I’m stepping in shit and have no right to complain when shit gets on me later” line.
