If your only copy was on proprietary video platform, you deserve what you get.
Having a good local service as alternative is just PeerTube and 1 day away.

Doing all the things YouTube does, like transcode videos, gets complicated quick.
At the University of Nebraska–Lincoln, we created our own video hosting site, https://mediahub.unl.edu/ (https://github.com/unl/UNL_MediaHub) to self-host videos for when avoiding government or k-12 firewalls is desirable as well as integrating with rev.com for captioning.
It's really unfortunate that higher education hasn't banded together more often to develop projects of mutual interest.

There's Odysee, but I have to imagine setting up an instance is bandwidth and computer expensive. Better to use a free* service until it becomes more trouble then it's worth.

Note that youtube-dl's bypass has been broken for some time now, and yt-dlp's only work on some of the four 'tiers' of age restriction.[1]
The less/non-anonymous bypass relying on cookies from a logged-in browser still works on all videos (I think).
