My YouTube usage is as follows. Open private Brave tab (prevents lots of tracking and all ads), search for a handful of channels, watch their new stuff, repeat in a day or two.

How would invidious improve or help with that workflow? Again I already use a private Brave tab to prevent tracking and ads.

Invidious provides RSS feeds from channels. You can do this with YouTube as well (or at least you could) but it isn't obvious. You add these feeds to an RSS reader and you have privacy-friendly subscription without Google creeping in the background nor annoying you with dark pattern and their perverted idea of GDPR "compliance".
