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.

Elton John - Believe (cover by Jean Makim)

I believe in love, it's all we got.
Love has no boundaries, costs nothing to touch.
Wanna make money? Cancel sleeps,
curled up at my father? It means nothing to me.

Churches and dictators, politics and papers,
everything crumbles sooner, later,
but love... I believe in love.

Without love, I wouldn't believe
in anything that lives or breathes.
Without love, I had no anger,
I wouldn't believe in the right to stand here.

Without love, I wouldn't believe,
I won't believe in you and you won't believe in me,
without love.

I believe in love...
[3x]
