Utility poles with cables aren't casting massive, fast-moving shadows on your property/home or keeping you awake at night (or just ruining your day) with the loud rotational scraping/whooshing noises you can hear a kilometer away. Check 2:20 and 2:55 in this video I came across https://invidious.snopyta.org/watch?v=f7DQ3SgSg0c .. Have fun hanging out in your yard listening to that.

How do you know the instance you are using isn't modified to have more tracking?

Looking at the Network tab is a pretty obvious one. I'm not logged in to any account and I block stuff like Google Analytics at the DNS level so I'm not sure what of value they could log. It's not like I'm seeking out nation-state-whistleblower level of privacy/anonymity here, haha

Honestly if you're that concerned, download the invidious codebase and host a local copy yourself. It's open source and free to use by anyone.
