I need a more privacy-oriented alternative to Youtube. I have try Odysee, which open-source but it has to do with tokens and that seems to me like crypto, which I don’t like. I have heard about Newpipe but this only for Android. Can you recommend me one that is also for the web and optionally open-source?

Sorry for bad english

    If your criteria requires the amount if music, movies and content that comes with being the most rich and popular video host in the world, then I don’t think there is a competitor. You’ll need at least two different tools to get the content of YouTube, or the ability to host videos outside of YouTube. If it’s free music and movies you want, I sincerely recommend just torrenting it or finding reputable download sources.

      It’s the first you mencioned. For free content there are enough alternatives, but there is the cuestion if you find also content which fits your tastes or needs. As you say, real alternatives to YT don’t exist (yet), but there are also the aforementioned methods to avoid the garbage from Google and its advertisers that is on the page and in the YT videos itself.
