    Half the time piped links won’t work for me and the other half of the time the videos buffer incredibly slow.

      I think it’s not a good idea to leave links to Piped instead of YouTube (same for Nitter/Twitter, Libreddit/Reddit, etc.). If you want to avoid YouTube, then just install LibRedirect extension or similar. Piped links are temporary, they’ll break sooner or later, making it difficult for people to get to the website.

        The problem that I see is that all of these alternatives still rely on YouTube at the end of the day.

        And the cost of setting up a new video hosting site that’s free to consume content from is ridiculous.
