What is your private way of watching YouTube videos when Invidious or Piped are not working? (discuss.tchncs.de)

Many YT privacy frontends are down it seems. YouTube is cracking down on these servers fast. Both Invidious and Piped services are not working now.

So how are you watching videos now? Just plain youtube[dot]com with unblock and VPN?

Thank you for the tip. Hopefully that'll fix the issues I've been having.

Yes, if you find a workng Invidious instance it's ok, but if not, FreeTube without SMplayer is useless.
