Invidious frontends by default do not proxy the videos. It gets the source video URL directly from Google. Some instances will allow you to proxy but need to manually set it. Piped always does this, but there are still other merits to using Invidious depending on the situation (for example Piped requires JS while Invidious does not, and Invidious also works far better on Tor Browser).

Hi, I am among the unfortunate victims of the FTX scam, a situation that has resulted in the loss of my entire savings, totaling around $20,000. The distressing aspect of this ordeal is not just the financial loss but the subsequent actions taken by SBF and Sullivan & Cromwell, the involved debtors. Following the success of their global heist, it appears that, rather than working towards justice for the affected customers, they are prioritizing their own interests, demonstrating a complete disregard for the well-being of those who have suffered. To witness such blatant exploitation of innocent people for personal gain is not only disheartening but also raises concerns about the moral and ethical compass of those involved. Their actions can only be described as mentally and spiritually sick, going beyond mere financial misconduct. The significance of this situation cannot be overstated for me, as the funds lost were an integral part of my financial stability. I am reaching out to you with the hope that you might consider extending a helping hand during this challenging time. Any assistance however small that you could provide to navigate through the complexities of this situation would be immensely appreciated. I believe in the power of collective compassion and the willingness of individuals to make a difference in the lives of those facing adversity. I understand that you may have your own commitments and limitations, but even the smallest gesture can have a meaningful impact. Thank you for taking the time to read my plea, and I sincerely hope that you may find it in your heart to offer assistance during this trying period. Your kindness will not be forgotten, and I am immensely grateful for any support you can provide.

Try https://piped.video I find it much smoother There is also Yattee on iOS, tvOS, macOS which is a privacy oriented video player that works with the piped api or invidious api. Didn’t configure it yet. That one might be able to save playback position (I rather it not save my playback position than giving all my info to google 🤷🏾)
