Piped lets you view youtube videos without being tracked by google (and I guess without ads, though pretty sure uBlock Origin will do that anyway).

Peertube is like an alternative site to youtube. It’s a different place to post your video (you can’t use it to watch YouTube videos to my knowledge). The site is federated like Lemmy, and it uses bittorrent to download videos so people viewing the video at the same time will send part of the data to each other, reducing load on the server.
