        Thanks. There are many reasons people might want the original YouTube link (e.g. privacy YT apps that intercept YouTube links but not invidious ones).

      It’s a farside.link/invidious link. which, instead of sending you directly to Youtube, chooses one of Invidious (privacy frontend for YT) instances to show yoi the video. you probably got redirected to an instance that had issues at that time. Opening the link again should send you to a different instance.

      whole privacy frontend movement deserves more attention, so that solutions for issues like this get developed
