I was having some issues with Invidious the other day, which I resolved. However, I came across this tidbit of info that I’d never seen before when I first deployed it:

Post-install configuration:

Highly recommended

Because of various issues, Invidious must be restarted often, at least once a day, ideally every hour.

Anyone else observing this weird restart schedule?

    Thanks for bringing it back to my attention.

    You’re welcome. I think they’ve made pretty decent strides especially with the companion app and the fact that YT is relentless in trying to circumvent frontends.

      Seems like there’s a FreeTube update every week or so. Cat and Mouse games, but what YT doesn’t realize is that Invidious and Freetube are the Cats and YT is the mouse to be consumed.

        A friend of mine a while back was showing me some drums he was thinking about getting, and he had a YT video pulled up on his phone to show me of the drum kit in action. Two unskipable pre-rolls, one skippable pre-roll, the actual video, halfway through the video, another skippable ad. Jebus, how does anyone even put up with that? The ads were absolute bullshit too. One, as I remember, was this nurse advocating the use of Vicks Vapor Rub on your member to enhance the girth and length. I shit you not. I was like, who sees this and slathers Vicks Vapo Rub on your twigs n’ berries? Wow! That’s gotta burn. Damn sure would make mine run hide.

          I wouldn’t want to ‘yuck someone else’s yum’. AND please please please NO VICK’S on DICKS! I haven’t used YT direct in quite some time. Thanks for the anecdote encouraging us all to continue avoidance.
