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.

Mylène Farmer - Désenchantée

Nager dans les eaux troubles des lendemains.
Attendre ici la fin.
Flotter dans l'air trop lourd.
Du presque rien.
À qui tendre la main?

Si je dois tomber de haut,
que ma chute soit lente.
Je n'ai trouvé de repos
que dans l'indifférence.
Pourtant, je voudrais retrouver l'innocence,
mais rien n'a de sens, et rien ne va.

[Refrain:]
Tout est chaos à côté.
Tous mes idéaux: des mots abîmés.
Je cherche une âme qui pourra m'aider,
je suis d'une génération désenchantée, désenchantée.

Qui pourrait m'empêcher
de tout entendre,
quand la raison s'effondre?
À quel saint se vouer?
Qui peut prétendre
nous bercer dans son ventre?

Si la mort est un mystère,
la vie n'a rien de tendre,
si le ciel a un enfer,
le ciel peut bien m'attendre.
Dis-moi, dans ces vents contraires, comment s'y prendre?
Plus rien n'a de sens, plus rien ne va.

[Refrain]

Chaos, chaos, chaos
Chaos, chaos, chaos

[Refrain]

---

Swim in the troubled waters of tomorrow.
Wait here for the end.
Float in the too heavy air.
Almost nothing.
Who should I reach out my hand to?

If I must fall from height,
may my fall be slow.
I found rest
only in indifference.
Still, I would like to find innocence again,
but nothing makes sense, and nothing works.

[Chorus:]
Everything is chaos next to me.
All my ideals: broken words.
I'm looking for a soul who can help me,
I am from a disappointed, disappointed generation.

Who could stop me
from hearing everything,
when reason collapses?
To which saint should we devote ourselves?
Who can claim
to rock us in the belly?

If death is a mystery,
life is not tender,
if heaven has a hell,
heaven can wait for me.
Tell me, in these contrary winds, how to go about?
Nothing makes sense any more, nothing works.

[Chorus]

Chaos, chaos, chaos
Chaos, chaos, chaos

[Chorus]
