It doesn’t always work. And I think it might be related to where you are in the world. For the first month when piped links started showing up, it straight up never started playing for me. It works alright now.

Use Tampermonkey. Although I don’t understand what makes Piped annoying. It’s just different front-end that isn’t bombarded with JS.

It’s annoying because it’s slow. It’s constantly buffering where the real youtube just instantly starst playing.

Then our experiences differ, though I must agree some instances (which you can switch in the settings - maybe there’s one closer to you or less stressed), including the official ones, have a meager uptime (compared to YouTube, ofc). Sometimes they’re offline for a few minutes and very rarely they’re broken for longer due to YouTube changing something.
