There is a bug in Youtube's AI filter that is causing some videos to flicker. The content creator have no idea that is happening and no way to opt out. If you have Epilepsy it is recommended that you watch out for these situations

Also as content creators dont know this may be happening, if you find these issues you should try to contact the respective content creator and let them know this is happening on your specific device. Again, its so random it may only happen on some devices

What difference would invidious make if the video was modified on Source?

    Oh, I don't have epilepsy so I'm not avoiding YouTube because of this filter, I'm avoiding YouTube because of the money Google keeps giving to Trump and because I noticed that my tech usage isn't very diversified and it was pretty pretty dominated by US companies (so if you imagine trade war negotiating leverage, I was giving the Trump administration more leverage). From that perspective, it removes ad revenue which is about all you can do with YouTube besides trying to convince creators to put their videos on multiple platforms (and it's questionable there is a good alternative platform)
