If you're unhappy with YouTube at this stage, you can always use Piped (open source) as an alternative.
You have access to YouTube videos and channels without ads and without being spied. And you don't even need to create an account... you can use it with your feed reader.

Our friends over at FUTO just launched GrayJay. It's an open-source video streaming app. You can follow creators cross-platform, stream from popular streaming apps without importing all their data-harvesting malware.
FUTO is pretty cool if you haven't checked them out yet, dedicated to open-sourced tech, they provide grants to engineers working on stuff.

I use FreeTube as a frontend for YouTube that also allows users to pick a different backend if they want. It's really great, I'd highly recommend it. You don't need to create an account and it allows you to create different groups of channels and saved videos. It's my understanding that it keeps your data locally but don't trust, verify.

+1 on Freetube. Well designed, no adds and tracking, perfect for desktop and I'd be curious to know about an alternative for mobile now that YouTube goes after ad-blockers

Libretube on Android is great

I've been using https://yewtu.be/. How do they compare?

Have you heard about Peertube? Check my previous post on it: #273785

I guess it would be possible to make something similar on Nostr?

This is great. What's the architecture behind it?

LibreTube on Android fixes the UI/UX problem.

For Android yeah, it looks good. Altough it crashs on my GrapheneOS. :(
But for PC there is no alternative.

Maybe try NewPipe? I've had no issues with it
