i tried piped for a while, but many times i tried to watch videos and they didn't start loading until i reloaded it what felt like hundreds of times. any reccomendations?

edit: Dear comrades reading this, i am not sure if it will work the same for people outside of amerikkka, but puffyan.us worked really well for me. i decided not to go with yewtu.be, as i wanted to be able to find content using my subscriptions rather than searching for topics. if that doesn't bother you, go with yewtube but puffyan worked well for me. thank you for all of the advice!

    mpv can stream youtube videos using yt-dlp on the fly if you want to go ultra minimalist.

    redirect.invidious.io can be used to preface youtube video links so that it's instance agnostic.

    If you use Android, Newpipe is a must have application.
