I'm curious, is self-hosting invidious even worth it? Youtube can still see every video you pull through, right, and now it's linked to a static ip address associated with you?
6€ a month for a VPS with self-hosted VPN :) I run all my self-hosted applications on my laptop but run it all through my VPS
Invidious is certainly worth it, even though you lose live feeds at the moment. You can even remove comments and trending. If you want to subscribe to a channel, you can do it without YouTube.
