It seems that YouTube is killing them all but I don’t know the technical details, via FreeTube I noticed, from this link (https://api.invidious.io/), that there are very few left and they require signup, and probably financial support from users.

    What do you use it for? You don’t get the privacy benefits when running it locally though right? Since your IP gives away your identity

      Mainly to avoid using YouTube and the mess of that interface. All i need is a chronoligical feed of the channels I like. I’m not overly concerned that they can associate my IP with some viewing activity. As long as there are multiple people in the household using YouTube, it’s not a given they know who’s watching what. Also it’s much easier to have multiple invidious profiles and use them with Firefox containers than it is to have multiple YouTube accounts and switch between them.
