Download videos from YouTube to Jellyfin or Plex.

Yeah, there's no real alternative to YouTube for most people.

There's Vimeo, BitChute, Odysee, and Rumble, and even Substack and the Internet Archive support video uploads. Not to mention Twitch, Kick, and the newer cohort.

But YouTube has recognition, and insane infra. That's very hard to match, let alone beat.
