I haven't checked it out in about 5 years, but PeerTube instances could be worth checking out.
It's actually surprising no-one else said it, since it's open source and federated (just like Lemmy is)
Yes, PeerTube is a really good option to upload Videos, but none of te alternative sites is a alternative of YT respect content, you don't find the among of music and free movies, apart of an inbuild editor, in any of the other Platforms, at least not in the moment.
If your criteria requires the amount if music, movies and content that comes with being the most rich and popular video host in the world, then I don't think there is a competitor. You'll need at least two different tools to get the content of YouTube, or the ability to host videos outside of YouTube. If it's free music and movies you want, I sincerely recommend just torrenting it or finding reputable download sources.
It's the first you mencioned. For free content there are enough alternatives, but there is the cuestion if you find also content which fits your tastes or needs. As you say, real alternatives to YT don't exist (yet), but there are also the aforementioned methods to avoid the garbage from Google and its advertisers that is on the page and in the YT videos itself.
