Interesting. For me it has been working fine the last months. Loads and plays now, tested 30 seconds ago.

Yes as of writing this, the instance works fine. But that’s what I’m saying, within an hour it’ll be down, or just show the thumbnails but not actually load videos.

The takehome is Google isn’t going to let Piped exist. And constantly does things to interfere which Piped can only do so much to bypass it all.

Mmh. They do so much silly stuff nowadays with the ad-blocker detection, handling browsers differently and people from different countries and all the magic that chooses your data rate and quality... I'm not surprised that it's a different experience for everyone. Hope they don't take third party frontends away from us for good. (I'd be also happy if every creator switches to a better alternative. But I don't see that happen any time soon.)
