While you can still take the survey currently, I wanted to share some thoughts and other insights from the numerous responses. To start, I saw some problems occurred with Tor users and some VPN users. While some people may still see “forbidden” if they use certain IP ranges, I believe I had made the bot blocking system less prevalent. Users will only see a captcha, which will automatically pass them if they are seen as humans. Without any extra effort, you don’t need to deal with image captchas or any other complicated systems, just, a quick verify step. While it’s not a passive “Stop the bots and question the suspicious users” it is better to require manual interaction for some of the lazy bots. Therefore, you will see less of the “checking you’re a bot” page and actually use Invidious more. Enrollment of each service will take time, and results are looking good, after ironing at the small issues I had.

Due to the ever-changing nature of it, I’d love to hear feedback from you on Invidious itself. I ask about my instance and YouTube as a whole, please fill it out here:

Any help and submissions are greatly appreciated.

Currently, the instance itself is having playback issues, although it does recover, so please be patient and recall your experience on related questions.

It sounds funny that you’d volunteer to use the Apple TV HD when it is so old (and only just recently made it fully to the unsupported product list), but I actually have been enjoying it. I think of it more as an entry into Apple ecosystem apps that ever grow on the platform. If you’ve ever wanted to use Trakt or Letterboxd on the big screen, now you can! Do you use Infuse on iPhone, Mac or iPad? It’s a simple $30 1080p streamer with great Apple ecosystem connections and good, occasionally laggy, performance.

As I probably said the last time, it is all many people need. Back in 2024, I was using the same Mac I still use today, and I said “It fills the needs of students who often buy expensive devices they never fully use or understand just because it’s an Apple device, or just what they needed for school, when all they may do all day is read PDFs and do schoolwork” and the MacBook Neo was a great example of that exact premise. It seems that over time, a lot of, even some of the oldest Apple devices, end up working great years into their lifetime.
