This joke is backwards.

YouTube is the one trying to kill an infinitely adaptable adversary they stand no chance of defeating.

You say that but Google is working on shoving a drm scheme into Chrome that'd keep you from being able to modify sites (e.g. ad and script blocking) and, due to the sheer market share that chrome and Chromium-based browsers have, Google can kinda just do whatever they want. Of course, it's ultimately up to the site owners to implement it, but you know probably 90% of sites will use it.

The Borg still adapt even if they use a randomly changing sequence, which means even in the future of Star Trek, they haven't actually found a way for computers to generate real random numbers and it's just an algorithm to simulate it, which of course the Borg can extrapolate from.

You'd think they'd have quantum mechanics on lock by the 24th century.

I self host an invidious instance and I haven't noticed any interruptions so far

Can you host them locally, if they are only meant for yourself?

Yeah you can, a friend of mine was doing that. But he got nervous since Google is going after those also.
