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.

What are you hoping to achieve here? If you just dont want the tracking then I've found Firefox containers and the CookieAutoDelete extensions to be excellent. Contain YouTube to its own container that no other site uses and as soon as the tab closes all the cookies are deleted too. Enable all the strict privacy controls in FF too.
