You can download YouTube videos via yt-dlp and add them to a jellyfin server. If you'd want to watch them without ads and off of Google.
Yeah but I don’t really want to keep the videos. Need one of these alternative sites to hurry up and take off
I've been looking into tube archivist actually. Want to get it set up soon and try it out.
Auto downloads, direct to Jellyfin, rules set up to delete them afterwards

I'd imagine there would be a way to automatically delete the file if you've watched a certain percentage and it's been a certain amount of time.
IDK, I'm not a programmer.
It would be pretty trivial to write a 1 line ‘script’ that deletes everything in the directory older than X hours.
I can recommend FreeTube, which is a standalone privacy friendly alternative that gets their videos directly from Google. While also blocking any ads, sponsorships and tracking.
An privacy alternative to Google would be wonderful, but in the meantime we can do it ourselves.
