I had an option to use a user specified instance until this commit 
https://git.thanosapollo.com/yeetube/commit/?id=5e3c2928b2c626cccede4284a3dc022f79f333e2 
~7 days ago

I remove it for the following reasons:
- Scraping a website that displays scraped content from youtube 
 seems pointless, since it's quite simple to parse youtube's json 
 & html (without using non-free js)
- Invidious has faced legal pressure recently 
 https://github.com/iv-org/invidious/issues/3872 and I don't feel 
 it's needed to bring this to an emacs package
- Depending on an external invidious instance is not ideal, nor 
 the projects goal.
- Maintaining both youtube & invidious scraping functionality is 
 not ideal either.

Sure, I didn't know about it, if anyone can send me some tips on 
how to implement it or a patch I could work on it
