    You can download YouTube videos via yt-dlp and add them to a jellyfin server. If you’d want to watch them without ads and off of Google.

      Yeah but I don’t really want to keep the videos. Need one of these alternative sites to hurry up and take off

        I’d imagine there would be a way to automatically delete the file if you’ve watched a certain percentage and it’s been a certain amount of time.

        IDK, I’m not a programmer.

        I can recommend FreeTube, which is a standalone privacy friendly alternative that gets their videos directly from Google. While also blocking any ads, sponsorships and tracking.

        An privacy alternative to Google would be wonderful, but in the meantime we can do it ourselves.
