What is Invidious? An alternative front-end to Google-hosted video content?
Does it strip ads?

#13I use individious because the current youtube frontend is bloated and slow on firefox. Maybe they should focus on improving their frontend instead of blocking frontends that other people prefer.
>Maybe they should focus on improving their frontend They have. Do you know how many ads they can stuff into people's faces now? Youtube is unbearable without ablock. If there are people who are able to watch it like that, then it shows just how long you can boil the proverbial frog.
Paying for YT premium is even better. No ads and you support the content creators

you still get the baked-in ads, and I get weird ads when watching video embedded in other websites.

#18One day all your online accounts could be blocked with the message: Your account is blocked. This helps protecting the community. In my case this kinda happened with most social networks on which my accounts are suspended. Yes my opinion is not default. But thats the issue.

#19And by "community" they mean business model.
Where and how do the content creators fit into this?

Most creators only have a small percentage of revenue from ads. A lot of the creators I like are demonetized anyways. Superchats and paid comments are way more lucrative than ads.
Google is in the malvertising business. Creators are not.
