Many YT privacy frontends are down it seems. YouTube is cracking down on these servers fast. Both Invidious and Piped services are not working now.

So how are you watching videos now? Just plain youtube[dot]com with unblock and VPN?

I feel like most have misunderstood the point of the question, they offer to use newpipe, yt-dlp and the like, but those aren’t private, they just allow you to watch without signing in, just as you could through the official website with maybe uBlock origin, you’re still exposing your IP.

This implies invidious and piped hide your IP address, which I'm not sure is true.

Piped always does, it's the way it works. Invidious is not always like that, at least if what is said in this issue is still true, it depends on the instance
