on android you could try libretube, and there has been a discussion about altneratives to youtube, there is Odysee which is open source and has a some kind of crypto/blockchain thing attached to it. I don't really understand it all.

The end is near
For FYI:
Install Freetube
Install LibRedirect on FF.
On settings point it to send YT links to Freetube.
I used Tab Wrangler to auto close tabs, so this will close tabs that are created after whatever time when pushing YT links, I have that set to a minute.
I am lazy and use KDEConnect, to my PC connected TV to send links. Like a remote.
Push links from any client, I use NewPipe. As it also has my channel subscriptions.
Enjoy, until Indivious is fixed. Could use other services but Freetube is pretty good and fast. Takes your own subscriptions too. Pipe like some others use JS, which I avoid and you have a lot of control over Freetube. This is easy to revert once everything his working.
That's why my smarttube in google tv is too slow or doesn't even load
If that is the case then adoption should be easier.
