As noted by other guys in this repository, some instances are down. I made some notes to give reasons to why to remove them to the pool of instances and highlighted some new public instances I've found to this date. Some related issues and PRs are here too to help managing all of them at once. At the end goes some instructions for those who want a workaround or a quick fix regarding invidious instances pool not working correctly.
