Hello,

Sad news for everyone. YouTube/Google has patched the latest workaround that we had in order to restore the video playback functionality.

Right now we have no other solutions/fixes. You may be able to get Invidious working on residential IP addresses (like at home) but on datacenter IP addresses Invidious won't work anymore.

If you are interested to install Invidious at home, we remind you that we have a guide for that here: https://docs.invidious.io/installation/..

This is not the death of this project. We will still try to find new solutions, but this might take time, months probably.

I have updated the public instance list in order to reflect on the working public instances: https://instances.invidious.io. Please don't abuse them since the number is really low.

Feel free to discuss this politely on Matrix or IRC.

Why? What else would we call them?

[-] LunarLoony@lemmy.sdf.org 4 points 1 hour ago

To answer the "why", it's because the word "content" is kinda meaningless. Instead of making films, documentaries, talk shows, reference guides, cartoons... it's all just this generic "content" slop that's just there to feed the machine

What a strange opinion.

[-] isgleas@lemmy.ml -3 points 1 hour ago

Entertainers. Show women/men.

[-] Ilovethebomb@lemm.ee 6 points 1 hour ago

Showman/woman refers to a pretty specific type of performer, I.E someone who is on stage typically.

Entertainer isn't a label I'd necessarily apply to educational content, for example.

Then call them educators, or presenters... teachers, maybe, depending on the nature of their work

[-] Tja@programming.dev 1 points 21 minutes ago

Yes it's much better to use

"comedians/teachers/musicians/educators/entertianers/phonereviewers/sportscommenters/singers/journalists/programmers/documenters/analysts/lawyers/lockpickers/politicians/presenters/trolls"

... than...

"content creators".

[-] Ilovethebomb@lemm.ee 1 points 1 hour ago

What do you have against creators as a label? I don't really see these difference myself.
