From some days I have seen that piped never works and invidious works for 1/10 times.Is it due to instances are down or google is doing something.

Or is it my internet issue 🥲 Is it working for others.

  • don’t know enough about Piped
  • Invidious is broken up into multiple instances, each instance can go up or down at any time and could be blocked by Google/Youtube relatively easy – usually just a matter of hopping to a new instance that hasn’t been blocked yet
  • less likely (but not out of the realm of possibility) is DNS shenanigans – ex. archive.today and Cloudflare have a pretty adversarial relationship, trying to get to one of the archive.today instances using Cloudflare DNS (1.1.1.1) can be a crap shoot
