My invidious instance, like every other one, is broken. But the search still works. So on the rare occasion I want to watch something on YouTube on my desktop, I'll search and then download it with yt-dlp.
On mobile, newpipe started working again for me. Setting it to different countries VPNs seems to help too.
I was doing this exactly but it got annoying fast so I use inv.nadeko.net now
That's definitely a go-to for me too.
I redirect YouTube links to redirect.invidious.io and try the options they have there. Nadeko is usually the play.
Ok so its not just me. I thought braveNewPipe was spazzing out.
Yeah YouTube really hamstrung the entire 3rd party space with their login requirements.
