In the lght of recent events (gloogel complaining about uBlock) I tried to investigate other available options out there. While Piped.video definitely works, it looks like it is only fluid for popular videos, and as soon as I want to watch something a little more obscure, it is basically impossible, I have infinite wheel spinning.

Have anyone here tried self hosting Piped/ Invidious, and could share a feedback about performance /usability ?

      yeah I know, makes no sense. I'll use this workaround for as long as possible, but I'm sure I'll have to move to Piped or Invidious sooner or later.

        The thing is, I do see ads when I open the embedded video/playlist on youtube! I don't think businesses would specifically avoid embedded playlists, but then happily advertise on playlists on youtube. It just looks like an oversight rather than a business decision to me.
