If you quit YouTube then you also quit all the content on YouTube that isn’t elsewhere. The best solution if you still want to use it is to use 3rd party apps. Personally I would actually count that as having no reliance on Google in particular anymore. If a video platform owned by Google wasn’t the most popular then it would be another platform. I don’t think you should think of 3rd party apps as YouTube frontends, but rather, apps that scrape videos hosted on Google’s servers.

But even with Peertube, if the creator uses youtube and reupload in another platform the youtube algorithm impact it in some way.
The only hope is youtube to die and another takes the place.
We can live in hope.
