Did the others all decide to quit or is there a practical reason?

    YouTube has been cracking down on alternative frontends.

    Vanilla Invidious currently doesn’t work well,
    so most hosters paused and/or gave up.

    Fijxu runs a fork of Invidious,
    with their own modifications implemented to circumvent the blocks,
    here’s the source code if you’re interested:
    https://git.nadeko.net/Fijxu/invidious

    I’ve got big respect for Fijxu,
    he’s been doing a very good job of keeping Invidious alive + fighting against the YouTube crackdown lately, basically all on his own.

    If you can please consider:

    All the above can help Fijxu,
    since currently he’s mostly fighting a big tech giant all on his own.
