Ad Free YouTube on a Screen Monitor
As for my iPhone I now use viewtube.io (you can also self host it if you want) and I am very happy of the result.
- Selfhosted web alternative to youtube vanced
- YouTube tests 5 unskippable ads: Will users be 'forced' to watch more ads? | Mint

what cool and lightweight apps to run on a tiny server, other than OMV and pi-hole? I have docker and 2GB ram still available
Self-host Viewtube and silently redirect all Youtube traffic to it. 😁
- ViewTube is an alternative YouTube frontend.

Is there a self-hosted "Youtube proxy"? Looking for something similar to Plex for TV's that I can use to proxy, avoid ads and blacklist some channels.
After using invidious, then piped, I settled on ViewTube. https://github.com/ViewTube/viewtube-vue better UI than invidious, not as obnoxious as piped.

Mitmproxy + youtube-dl frontend project?
I run ViewTube having gone through 3 other front ends, and although not perfect, it's the best I've found for my needs. But like you say, the problem I have is I really do not give a flying funk about youtube, and wish there was a way to transparently proxy all youtube requests to viewtube. Short of as you say doing a local DNS entry for youtube and knocking up some kind of certificate, I'm stumped. I have to rely on per-client solutions like UntrackMe or PrivacyRedirect.

Multiple postgres databases?
Slight aside: try out ViewTube as well. I was running Piped for a few months until yesterday when I found this. I found Piped needlessly complicated, but better than raw invidious. Viewtube for me is the best of both. Still not perfect, but I'm trying to set up a dev environment to contribute if I can atm.

Mobile Ad Blocker Will No Longer Stop YouTube's Ads
Youtube seems to be doing some A/B testing with the comment system which has made proxies like Invidious and yt-dlp/Newpipe unable to load comments. There is a patch for Invidious [1] which solves this problem but it is not in master yet. I tested it on my own instance and it does solve the problem.

Google fights Invidious (a privacy YouTube Front end)
BTW, I don't understand the workaround: https://github.com/iv-org/invidious/pull/4552/files
Which was taken from here: https://github.com/LuanRT/YouTube.js/pull/624
Could anybody explain it to me?

YouTube is loading slower for users with ad blockers yet again
Use a Youtube proxy like Invidious [1], problem solved and you get to subscribe to channels without telling the Beast about your interests. Add Sponsorblock (which supports Invidious) to get rid of any in-stream advertising which remains and you'll be transported back to those hallowed times of yore when men were men, women were women and advertising was something you found in newspapers. Youtube will try to make this harder just like Xitter is trying to make it harder to use proxies like Nitter [2].

YouTube begins new wave of slowdowns for users with ad blockers enabled
Going to drop this here for others who haven't heard of it https://invidious.io/
Now, how do we fix this? YouTube's ad model sucks. Their algorithm sucks. Their front page sucks. They've captured a bunch of creators though so often YouTube is the only place you can find someone.
I want those creators to benefit from me viewing their videos. I want the fact that I view a video and like it to help other people find that video in their recommendations. I want an algorithm that shows me things that are interesting and relevant not one that promotes the spammiest and most ad heavy videos that barely have anything to do with my watch history.
Having an alternative front end is nice but I don't want to rob YouTube of the money they spend on hosting the videos.
So, how do we do this?
Peer to peer fails when there is little interest in something or when most people leech and it sucks for archiving old content.
Hosting it all in one place is super expensive and hard for a small group to manage without turning into YouTube.
Maybe we could find a way for the creators to host their own content and get paid when people view it while being part of a large federated network for easy discoverability?
Please list any projects you know of, I'm sure there are a lot of people here who would be willing to contribute or donate.
