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.
On desktop, first try VLC Media Player. It’s very good for streams and videos on both YouTube and Twitch. Failing that, mpv is also very good.
If you’d just prefer a website, have a look at Piped. Invidious and CloudTube are also good, but they can be a bit hit-and-miss with which videos they can play, in my experience; and Invidious is also currently being attacked by Google’s lawyers.
