Try FreeTube viewer, still in alpha but already works great. You can create profiles with the channels you want in each one.

On mobile (Android) you have NewPipe, GrayJay or SkyTube.
LibreTube is another option for Android. On iOS you can use Yattee with this guide.
Invidious and Piped work in the browser, you can combine them with LibRedirect to automatically redirect all YouTube links. LibRedirect is great, you can also use it to redirect other websites, e.g. Twitter -> Nitter, Reddit -> Teddit, etc.
How many of these just use YouTube under the hood?
Or any of these actually host their own videos? And if they host their own, wouldn’t they be missing like millions of videos only available on YouTube?
These are all better ways to access YouTube, they don't host any videos themselves. If you want a YouTube alternative, check out PeerTube
