Select an instance for watching the video:
 
redirect.invidious.io (audio)
 
Program for downloading:
 
yt-dlp (documentation)
 
If you use Window$, you can download yt-dlp.exe and type this in the MS-DOS prompt:

yt-dlp https://www.youtube.com/embed/-qTzJIE4GFU

Watch at youtube (not recommended):
 
https://www.youtube-nocookie.com/embed/-qTzJIE4GFU
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-qTzJIE4GFU

Youtube.com requires nonfree software (Javascript code) for normal use of the site; after changes Google made in August 2017, nothing is visible in a typical Youtube page without running its nonfree Javascript code.
[...]
However, it is ok to refer to the same videos on an offshoot of invidio.us; just make sure not to choose one that is "protected" by Cloudflare, since that sends its own nonfree software. This way of referring is probably fail-safe: it may cease to work, but it will probably not start leading people to run nonfree software. You don't need a special "platform" to post an audio or video on the Web. You can post an audio or video file on any web site. Just put up the WebM file and link to it as if it were an ordinary page. All graphical browsers can handle that.

I suggest that you don't watch the video with the browser, but download it with yt-dlp instead and play it from your hard drive, with a specialised program, particularly if you want to watch it more than once, because:

• Hard drives have direct memory access, but your internet connection doesn't. This means that when you watch a video from the internet in your browser, the CPU has to handle the data transfer, as well as encryption and decryption, leading to lower performance and increased electricity consumption, especially since all sites with videos on them use HTTPS.
• Whenever you watch a video online, the server on which it's stored, as well as all the other servers and routers involved in transferring the file to you need extra energy to perform this task.
• If you have a metered internet connection, you will obviously save a lot of bandwidth if you watch the video from the hard drive.
• Browsers are not optimised for playing videos, so you will get much better performance and energy efficiency if you use a specialised program.

So if you are concerned with global heating, pollution and exhaustion of Earth's resources, you should download all the videos you want to watch.

Идар Коцев - Там нет меня

Там нет меня,
где на песке не пролегли твои следы,
где птица, белая, в тоске,
где птица, белая, в тоске, кружит у пенистой воды.
Я только там,
где звук дрожит у губ желанной пристани,
и где глаза твои стрижи,
и где глаза твои стрижи скользят по небу пристально.
Там нет меня,
где дым волос не затуманит белый день,
где сосны от янтарных слез,
где сосны от янтарных слез утрет заботливый олень.
Я только там,
где ты порой на дверь глядишь с надеждою,
и как ребенок с детворой,
и как ребенок с детворой ты лепишь бабу снежную.
Там нет меня,
где пароход в ночи надрывно прогудел,
где понимает небосвод,
где понимает небосвод, что без тебя осиротел.
Я только там,
где нет меня — вокруг тебя невидимый.
Ты знаешь, без тебя и дня,
ты знаешь, без тебя и дня прожить нельзя мне видимо.
Там нет меня,
где на песке не пролегли твои следы,
где птица, белая, в тоске,
где птица, белая, в тоске, кричит у пенистой воды.

---

I am not there,
where your footprints have not been laid on the sand,
where the bird, white, in anguish,
where the bird, white, in anguish, is circling near the foamy water.
I am only there,
where the sound trembles at the edges of the coveted pier,
and where your swifts' eyes,
and where your swifts' eyes glide across the sky intently.
I am not there,
where the smoke of hair will not cloud the white day,
where the pines, of amber tears,
where the pines will be wiped of amber tears by a caring deer.
I am only there,
where you sometimes look at the door with hope,
and like a child, with the children,
and like a child, with the children you make a snow woman.
I am not there,
where the steamer in the night has been humming hysterically,
where the firmament understands,
where the firmament understands that it was orphaned without you.
I am only there,
where I am not — invisible around you.
You know, without you even a day,
you know, without you I can't live even a day, apparently.
I am not there,
where your footprints have not been laid on the sand,
where the bird, white, in anguish,
where the bird, white, in anguish, is circling near the foamy water.
