My project here is similar: https://github.com/user234683/youtube-local
It keeps everything in the browser while still being local to the machine

Hosting yt-local.
I am planning to host youtube-local (https://github.com/user234683/youtube-local) on my old laptop that's running Ubuntu Server. I don't plan on accessing the instance outside the local network.

Selfhosted web alternative to youtube vanced
https://github.com/user234683/youtube-local It's like Invidious,but you can route your requests through Tor(if you care) and has a classic design and also has SponsorBlock,works most of the time

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.
Been using youtube-local https://github.com/user234683/youtube-local for months if not years now, does the job pretty well.

Any GOOD YouTube alternatives?
i can recommend youtube-local with VPN for performance and privacy. Also Odysee as many Youtubers already have a channel there.

A cross-platform GUI for YouTube-dl
Somewhat related self-plug: Self-hosted browser client for watching YouTube anonymously (Python):
https://github.com/user234683/youtube-local
It supports downloading all the raw formats (the video only ones, audio only ones, and the 360p & 720p integrated formats). More meant for watching than downloading, but some more advanced downloading features, such as merging audio+video with ffmpeg to get more downloadable qualities and auto-downloading options for playlists are planned.

Got some cool ideas?
What about https://codemadness.org/idiotbox.html or https://github.com/user234683/youtube-local ?

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.
