I think it’s not a good idea to leave links to Piped instead of YouTube (same for Nitter/Twitter, Libreddit/Reddit, etc.). If you want to avoid YouTube, then just install LibRedirect extension or similar. Piped links are temporary, they’ll break sooner or later, making it difficult for people to get to the website.
Half the time piped links won’t work for me and the other half of the time the videos buffer incredibly slow.
I had a similar time with piped not working reliably, I prefer invidious, specifically iv.ggtyler.dev has pretty much always worked for me
Anyways, It’s really easy to just swap for another instance or whatever
OP link is
https://piped.video/watch?v=YnSv8ylLfPw
Just take everything after the domain and TLD
(everything after “piped.video”)
And slap it on the end of another instances domain and TLD
(For example iv.ggtyler.dev)
End result:
iv.ggtyler.dev/watch?v=YnSv8ylLfPw
It even works with YouTube:
youtube.com/watch?v=YnSv8ylLfPw

The problem that I see is that all of these alternatives still rely on YouTube at the end of the day.
And the cost of setting up a new video hosting site that’s free to consume content from is ridiculous.
On the one hand, there are true alternatives like Vimeo. On the other, sometimes you just need to access an existing video…
