    A local instance can still link your IP to other Google activities, so it’s not really private.

    It’s better to run it in a datacenter and use your instance with a few friends afaik.

    YT has been combating them, so they have some trouble lately. Others might be having trouble with the increasing amount of people leaving the Google regime.

    Yewtu.be seems to be always strong (although you can’t import your subs there sadly)

      the ones i tried were already bad before the crackdown, and turned unusable for me after. includes yewtube.

  I wonder if those are less likely to be blocked on networks.
