Alternative for YouTube? (lemmy.world)

I watch YouTube when I eat etc. I pretty much solely watch gameplays. Is there any alternative? Or an opensource way to view YouTube? I don't want to use Twitch because Amazon and I grew out of enjoying streamers in my late teens and it's been a while since.

Because YouTube videos keep getting deleted I download all my favorites and host on my Jellyfin server.

Same! So much better this way. I wrote my own program so it just automatically downloads new videos from channels I've told it I'm interested in, and then it puts it in the appropriate Jellyfin folder. Way more reliable this way, I don't miss videos. And I don't care if my internet shits the bed, it can take however long it wants to take to download and once it's there I can even watch it even with no internet. I even implemented sponsorblock in it so Jellyfin automatically skips sponsored segments.
