For more information on this purge, check out @amolith@masto.nixnet.xyz's https://nixnet.xyz/invidious, a grave yard for his former Invidious instance. They've done the same to many more folks. Godspeed, everyone
For proof, here is the developer's Patreon page as of 12 October, 2019. Linking through the Wayback Machine to avoid Cloudflare: https://web.archive.org/web/20191012222327/https://www.patreon.com/omarroth

I would also like to point out that the developer's Patreon has been mysteriously cited as "in violation of community guidelines."

They should just be transparent and say they suspended it for preventing the flow of money into Google's wallet.
