Anyone who’s been using privacy-respecting frontends for some time will recognise Piped. A YouTube frontend with no ads, integrated SponsorBlock, return dislikes, and a customisable UI.
Piped also allows you to subscribe to as many channels as you want without ever logging into a Google account. You can export your subs list from YouTube and import them to Piped seamlessly.
If you’ve never heard of it, give it a glance at https://piped.video. For more instances, check here.
What do you mean exactly? I just tried it and it and Piped seems to work just fine.
EDIT: Found what someone else said. Basically have to bounce instances and find one that it’ll work on, since they rate limit instances at times…
