:Invidious is only an alt frontend for YT, I don't see how it would help here? It doesn't circumvent age-restricted vids, and we already have preservetube as a perfect YT archiver. [[User:Tempo123|Tempo123]] ([[User talk:Tempo123|talk]]) 00:31, 6 April 2026 (UTC)

::so is Nitter and Redlib and they're also not treated as archives. I was talking abt Invidious' inclusion in [[Projects:Archive everything#Alternative frontends & mirrors|Alternative frontends & mirrors]] btw [[User:SinexTitan|SinexTitan]] ([[User talk:SinexTitan|talk]]) 08:42, 6 April 2026 (UTC)

:::Nitter is there because it allows for comments to be seen without sign-in so it's superior to x dot com, Redlib is there to go around 18+ gated content on old dot reddit that archive services can't get past. The three available Invidious instances that are up all have anti-bot measures that block archival services, and even if that weren't the case, the fact remains that PreserveTube can archive videos perfectly and YT archived pages leave the topmost comments visible, so there isn't really a need for a YT frontend for archival purposes in the first place (atm, anyway).
