I had thought that was a peertube link, but looks like it is just a YouTube redirect.

It's a piped instance link which just downloads and serves the video from YouTube. It's privacy friendly because your browser doesn't hit Google's site where they'll just further build up your ad profile.

It seems to be used quite a lot here when people can't find the video on PeerTube.
