Invidious dragging to a halt (sh.itjust.works)

For some time, trying to watch videos on Invidious or Freetube has been a pain. It has been oscillating day by day but now I get like 3 seconds of video for 8 seconds of loading time

Some days ago I saw a notice on top of the webpage in some Invidious instances stating something like "Youtube is trying to impede frontends"

Today i tried going to youtube.com and enabling some requests on uBO and videos loading freakin' fast

Is anyone getting the same?

No issues with Freetube here either, never had any either. Running most things on defaults.
