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.

Oscar Stembridge - Am I The Only One
Young blood, young hearts,
They all feel like they're lost,
I'm not who they want.
You listen when it suits you,
Try to walk in my shoes,
I feel like a cartoon.
I got so many questions, questions, questions for you,
But you don't got the answers, answers, answers don't you?
I feel sorry for your sake,
Come on meet me halfway,
I got too many questions, questions, questions for you.
Am I, am I, am I,
Am I the only one who gets lonely?
[2x]
Boyfriends and girlfriends
Drinking in the woods.
We're on a train, all alone to the unknown.
Different, don't fit in,
Look at me, I'm still breathing.
Who are you when you get home?
I got so many questions, questions, questions for you,
But you don't got the answers, answers, answers don't you?
I feel sorry for your sake,
Come on meet me halfway,
I got too many questions, questions, questions for you.
Am I, am I, am I,
Am I the only one who gets lonely?
[4x]
Am I the only one?
