I almost finished de-google-fy my digital life as well, but I really can't fully leave Youtube, there is simply too much good content there.

I'm the same I heavily use the Watch Later feature, slap things in the queue then watch them on my telly alongside mty other media via Kodi with the YouTube plugin.

I guess one alternative would be having some kind of place I can chuck video links into and have them downloaded by youtube-dl then a metadata provider for Kodi to get everything nicely tagged.

Yeah, me too.

I put stuff in my watch later list during the day and then watch videos in the evening on my PC.

If you want to just avoid some of the tracking and logging, you could use an app like NewPipe which will stream only the video from youtube. I wonder if there's anything on the same lines for the PC.

I watch mostly from the PC (I'm old school I guess), so NewPipe does not work for me :/

There is! Check out invidio.us
