I started using ytp-dl and mpv after receiving those adblock warnings. My life is now 420% better because I stopped reading Youtube comments as a side-effect. Also, mpv is 5 billion times better player than any web browser media player can ever be.

This. I tried to self-host Piped and it was a PITA. I am experienced in self-hosting but setting it up behind a reverse proxy was next to impossible and basically no guides exist.

I did vidious, very easy. Sadly max 720p if you proxy from YouTube and if you proxy from your instance 1080p buffers like mad even on a bidirectional 1gig internet on a gaming PC style server. So back to unlock for me since a lot of my videos watched are 4k
