I have to say there is a bit of irony to link to Google Youtube videos.
I don’t do Youtube so can’t tell if that’s your content.. but have you considered peertube?

I'm pretty sure you are writing from a device that has most of his fundamental components not made in Europe but the US.
What we need to have it's a programmatic approach to this. Removing the possibility for us to use US tech from day one it's non only impossible but also unnecessary. YouTube is a monopoly, there isn't anything out there that be even close to it. I know peertube very well, is not a replacement for YouTube. Not now.
The video isn't mine.

Globalisation has yielded a machine that was produced from all over the world. It’s a 2008 machine. Not sure what point you’re trying to make here but no dime of mine has gone to any PC maker anywhere since 2008. And I believe I can get another 10+ years out of this machine before I have to start using PCs that I have salvaged from curbside dumps.

Of course it’s necessary. As long as you are dependant on US tech giants, you don’t have ETS.

It’s easily a replacement for content creators. Hence why I said I could not tell if it’s your content. Now that you say it’s not, then indeed options are limited to finding Invidious instances that have not been neutered for saving videos that can be shared outside of YT. Beyond that, we need someone to invent a sharing platform well suited to YT. Something that uses the basic bittorrent design with trackers that key on the video ID.
