So invidious isn’t working well at the moment, neither is piped. So I’m wondering what the best options are to watch YouTube right now?

Just self host invidious or use an invidious instance that is maintained? My self hosted one works just fine

Genuine question as I also self host invidious, but are they any privacy benefits compared to the official YouTube website (with vinegar)? I am assuming it is very limited as I am the only person using the instance, from my home ip address.

I do prefer the minimal ui from invidious, but the container occasionally crashes

There are definitely some privacy benefits I imagine, as you are not directly utilizing a user account and the YouTube UI. Now if you are asking if it is still possible for google or YouTube to track you the answer is yes, you are just making it slightly harder.
