I don’t get how those proxies can afford to operate. Video streaming is insanely expensive and their per-user expenses (bearing in mind that the average user never uploads anything) are probably on the same level as YouTube’s if they proxy the video stream.
You don’t install piped or individious, they are websites you simply navigate too:
https://piped.video
Or you even can install a firefox extension to redirect all youtube links automatically for you. Here is one that has minimal permissions required:
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/youtube-redirect/
I was talking about self hosting them which obviously requires installation
Oh, well when you spoke of convenience I thought it was less likely you had self-hosting in mind ;)
I just want to make sure people to know how easy it is to avoid youtube with the further prooliferation of their enshittification.

I use farside.link to go to available piped instance.
