Has anyone tried to use unbound (or even a hosts file) to redirect requests to youtube to an invidious instance? It seems pretty trivial in my head but I cannot find any reference to it online

I use a self hosted SearXNG instance and have that rewrite YouTube, Reddit, and Twitter links. You probably could hack Unbound to rewrite domains as well but you could run into some issues.
