Hey Bro this mCaptcha sometimes leads to endless refreshing on Brave (Linux only tested) than i had to manually reload page several times and than it worked for what ever reason. Maybe unclean integration of service using nginx proxy or watch ever. If more people complain about this please look into it. Great work so far peace!
Also please close registration before instance get unstable.
I don't want to seem selfish but i donated for a working instance. Love you

Probably last message, for a long time, would like to go on more detail, but there's a limit to how much to type and the intervals, and i recommend again to take a read at the "power" essay at number 85, it will help lots to make a coherent theory about it, and may help to convince to take a perspective that goes farther from the imagination-corroding fatalism you talk about.
Don't know much about louis rossmann yet, but seems to be an honest repairman just from the summaries on wikipedia, also, educative reparations? big wins! https://wikiless.tiekoetter.com/wiki/Louis_Rossmann?lang=en
Notice Fijxu didn't fall to his knees and let it go "naturally" the many times repression has happened before, but puts lots of efforts in operating all these other freer pieces of software, emerging from the imaginations put to create and resist the hierarchical bull-crap pushing for getting to colonize data of our anuses to keep us trapped in "naturality".

Yes, carcinisation does refer to that lol that's why I mentioned 'glowie crab people' hahaha. It's catchy, and everyone knows to fear cancer. People should approach this problem (not just youtube) with the same gravity as the consequences are dire if this trend doesn't go away. Listen to Louis Rossman, dude is a legend. I noticed Fijxu links to him already. He's one of the only people around actually doing the work. Thank you again for all your efforts!!
Shaolin: Yeah, that pretty much describes human nature. I'd call it "authority" over "soft power" tbh. Power to me is "hard power", violent or not.
Dunno if youtube's CEO is directly responsible but somewhere in their org is a board meeting where they have teams of experts discussing "so have we exploited the dopamine pathways of young children with targeted minecraft grooming videos? good. now study the impacts of random video pauses on those darned frontend things. will that manipulate people into watching ads by sorta duplicating the experience?"

Adding to number 80's (Oncologist) question about what makes things go worse (or enshittify) is fundamentally hierarchical power relations. Its natural for a relation of increasingly concentrating power[1] to a narrowing group of people to, for example in this context; Neal Mohan is proving to be willing to use his high-administrative leverage to repress resistance, mandating the destruction of free, openly sourced crap-filters (also spending lots of resources like human energy and suffering) advancing the carcinogenic trash of social hierarchy conditioned by the interlocking, destructively parasitical relations that sustain them, with the added bolstering of a literal fascist government with the most destruction capable army in history.
Notes:
[1] Power is usually meant by "the power to subjugate others to one's whim" but if we take this rather limited meaning to its basics, it would be "the power to enact one's will"

Fijxu is correct, browser fingerprinting is far more important than purely IP tracking these days. Look into firefox hardening or at least use the actual Tor Browser. The goal isn't to be 100% untraceable (if that's even possible with modern hardware fuckery), just to make the oncocytes work for it. Consider the above + legacy hardware dedicated to only youtube viewing and nothing else.
Again, how many users does invidious even have compared to youtube? It likely costs them more to block this than anything they make back with ads.
I don't think "enshittification" goes far enough. More like carcinisation. Terminal enshittification? Glowing crab people? I think that accurately describes the soulless meat computers working on this sort of thing. Can't expect objects to have a conscience I suppose. Somewhere out there, a person in a country without free & open access to internet just lost their only way of keeping up to date.

If you want to know what data Invidious collect, visit https://inv.nadeko.net/privacy (but all that data is already worthless if you use a random username or your username is not discoverable on any other internet services. There is also people that register on Invidious with their email address for some reason, when there is a disclaimer on the account creation section discouraging the use of email addresses)
If you are afraid of your IP being logged for whatever reason, you can always use Tor. But that is not worth unless you really really don't trust me.
There is better ways to track someone, and logging their IP address is the most useless one. Take a look at https://abrahamjuliot.github.io/creepjs/ or https://fingerprint.com/

Try watching youtube over tor using their trash bloatware native client. Doesn't work even with no adblock and all JS enabled. Same "protecting community" message even though you can't login or interact with community in any way. Glowtube is a monopoly that won't even let you watch the news without tracking your ever move, knowing there are no real alternatives. Scumbags.

I had to do this to prevent bots requests and bad implementations of the API on software like Materialious and Clipious (those two spam the /api/v1/videos endpoint a lot if the user goes into the watched videos history), and if a lot of requests go tho that API endpoint, the instance gets blocked. If it's already struggling to work at this state, imagine how bad it would be if I enabled the API.
