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 ?

Viewtube was pretty easy to get running. Their rocker container started up almost right away.
The only problem I have with them, is that it doesn’t seem to import my YouTube subscriptions.
How much minimum RAM requirements?
I’m not sure, I have an old machine with 16gb. It ran fine in that, but I found a better solution for myself shortly after.
There is an iOS extension that lets YouTube play in the native iOS browser. It blocks ads as well, so I just use that.
The privacy focused stuff is cool, but I’m blocking ads and my watch progress is saved which is important to me.
