It's a hard angle, on one end obviously YT sucks and people need to be aware of other platforms, BUT if you really want to spread the knowledge of privacy to people that are unaware, there's no choice but to use it. That said, a person actually into privacy should also be uploading those videos to privacy respecting platforms, and those are what should be linked here and in any privacy respecting place.

I literally saw a dude linking to a FACEBOOK video, talking about how to avoid data miners LOL. Sad, but again, those are the people that need to be made aware! It's a tricky one.
