    I’d run this on a VPS if I could do it over the TOR network (don’t want to get caught with my CC on the line), but there’s the problem of needless duplication if this happens, so it’s likely the best if relevant authors do it themselves

      I always thought Invidious was downloading the source video from YouTube in the background when given a YouTube video ID and it’s not already downloaded, but I might be wrong.

      What about renting a VPS itself over Tor using Monero, and then letting the VPS do its work normally in the clear?

      BitLaunch lets you rent a VPS with crypto currency

        I’d prefer XMR

          kycnot.me lists a bunch of providers that accept XMR directly.

          Same, but you can always use Trocador to convert your XMR to other coins. Alternatively there are some ways to anonymously acquire BTC.

            Had never heard of it, thanks. I prefer DEXes for crypto (XMR only now)

              It’s not perfect, there are some conversion fees, but it should be ok. I use it from time to time to pay for my seedbox.

                Whom did you buy your seedbox from?

                  RapidSeedbox they accept multiple crypto currencies but unfortunately no XMR, so I had to use Trocador to convert to BTC.
