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.

Rareș Mariș - Let It Go
(from "Frozen" soundtrack)
The snow glows white on the mountain tonight
Not a footprint to be seen
A kingdom of isolation
And it looks like I'm the king
The wind is howling like this swirling storm inside
Couldn't keep it in, heaven knows I tried
Don't let them in, don't let them see
Be the good boy you always have to be
Conceal, don't feel, don't let them know
Well, now they know
Let it go, let it go
Can't hold it back anymore
Let it go, let it go
Turn away and slam the door!
I don't care
What they're going to say
Let the storm rage on
The cold never bothered me anyway
It's funny how some distance
Makes everything seem small
And the fears that once controlled me
Can't get to me at all
It's time to see what I can do
To test the limits and break through
No right, no wrong, no rules for me I'm free
Let it go, let it go
I am one with the wind and sky
Let it go, let it go
You'll never see me cry
Here I stand
And here I'll stay
Let the storm rage on!
My power flurries through the air into the ground
My soul is spurring like in frozen fractals all around
And one thought crystallizes like an icy blast
I'm never going back
The past is in the past
Let it go, let it go
And I'll rise like the break of dawn
Let it go, let it go
That perfect boy is gone
Here I stand
In the light of day
Let the storm rage on
The cold never bothered me anyway
