In my opinion we need to support other websites like odysee and peertube. If everyone here continue to watch content on yt we won't have a real alternative. This is my thought. For me the best alternative right now is odysee and I'm trying to watch only creator there. (If u want a list of content creator I can write it down)

Is self-hosting a YouTube front-end reliable? Public instances often don’t work, but maybe Google doesn’t block private ones?

Yeah, but this defeats the purpose of being anonymous and not sending your habits and IP to facist america, if you are the only one using that instance, it doesn't give you any anonymity

Then you might just use freetube with local back end
