i’ve grown increasingly, increasingly tired of youtube lately. the exhausting shorts advertised everywhere, overwhelming thumbnails, sensory overload and just generally a really piss poor site. Is there anywhere someone like me can turn to?

unfortunately all the content is on YouTube. so your best bet is probably to use mods/ custom styling to make it better (remove thumbnails, clean up layout, etc) rather than use a different platform imo.
There is the real problem. there are plenty of places hosting a few videos. However most of the content is on YouTube, so like it or not you need to go there for a lot of interesting things. If you make content please post it elsewhere (either only or as well, your choice) so that those trying something else at least have something to look at.
YouTube currently makes sense of centralized hub because we haven’t found a way to compress video files in a way that makes sense for individual entities to get into storage. You need next-level resources to run a site like that.
All of Wikipedia can fit on about 25 gigs. Reddit, probably half of that at best.
YouTube’s server farms must have incalculable space, how many thousands of terabytes are being updated each day? It’s biggest competitors like Vimeo are a fraction of the size.
With where technology is, the alternative for YouTube wouldn’t be a different website. It would have to be mods that bypass ads and customize the experience.
