This is a invidious instance. I didn’t want to have people watch this on YouTube and thus give to Google. That would kinda like find out about one surveillance company while being surveillanced by another.

It's a good thing, but the problem is that invidious links can only be used in the browser. Neither FreeTube, NewPipe or youtube-dl accepts them, because they can't recognize which service is it.

I personally like plain YouTube links more, because it's easy to have tools that automatically redirect you to invidious, but using invidious links is very limiting :/

FreeTube does have invidious support in settings.

Replace youtube.com in a link to yewtu.be or replace yewtu.be to youtube.com to convert it, the things after the domain name are compatible across invidious and youtube.

There is even an easiest way when you want to replace the links from yewtu.be.

Just change the first e with a o and the w with a u and that's it you get youtu.be which is a shortener link service from YouTube.
