YouTube has an extremely invasive privacy policy which relies on using user data in unethical ways. You give them a lot of data - ranging from ideas, music taste, content, political opinions, and much more than you think. By using Piped - https://github.com/TeamPiped/Piped/wiki/Instances , you can freely watch and listen to content freely without the fear of prying eyes watching everything you are doing. License available at https://github.com/TeamPiped/Piped/blob/master/LICENSE .
Farside - https://farside.link/ provides links that automatically redirect to working instances of privacy-oriented alternative frontends, such as Nitter, Libreddit, etc. The Farside's links work with the following structure: farside.link/<service>/<path>
This allows for users to have more reliable access to the available public instances for a particular service, while also helping to distribute traffic more evenly across all instances and avoid performance bottlenecks and rate-limiting. The license is available at https://github.com/benbusby/farside/blob/main/LICENSE and you can test the demo redirects at https://github.com/benbusby/farside#demo
