It’s an open source front end to youtube, yes. So no ads on the sidebar, no bullshit about logging in, no garbage algorithm to be harassed by.
And no commercials yet. If YT streams the ads and invidious doesn’t block them and adblocker doesn’t block them and PiHole doesn’t block them, I will not watch them.
What makes you think they won’t block them or force ads to them as well?
You do know that Invidious is still YouTube, right?

Death to Advertisement.
I’ll download it so I can skip the bullshit if it comes down to it.
I don’t think YouTube cares if you refuses to watch their videos on another platform or not.
They probably prefer if you didn’t. You only cost them money with no revenue whatsoever.
They are still a metric they can peddle to their advertisers to show “how many people see this ad in a month.”
