Alternative for YouTube? (lemmy.world)

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.

I've been alternating between using Invidious and Piped in the past week or so, which are both open-source ways to access Youtube videos.

Piped seems to be more consistent with fetching captions, so I'm leaning towards that. You can setup an addon like LibRedirect to change any YouTube URLs to whatever instance of Piped or Invidious (and a couple others I haven't checked out).

LibreTube is what I've been using on Android since Youtube Vanced died.
