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.

Edit: I don't ever use it on mobile. Desktop via Firefox only.

An Invidious instance or mpv (with yt-fzf for example).

Personally, I use yt-fzf for searching (no thumbnails though) and newsboat (a cli rss reader) for subscribing to YouTube channels then I can load up videos from there to mpv. I just press the "o" key on my keyboard when a new video comes out and it plays on mpv.
