I wanted to list and ask for platforms that can substitute YouTube.

Here it's:

NASA+, Space and Astronomy Videos.
Vimeo, Professional Videos and Documentaries.
TED, Talks and presentations.
PeerTube, there is not a lot of videos, but some creators upload there.
ARTE, Euro documantries and analysis.
RedBull TV, Sports related videos.
RTE Player, Journalism.
BBC videos, diverse topics.
NFB Films, Canadian Films.

Is YouTube embroiled in some controversy or something? I’d search Google but don’t trust it anymore

Youtube is owned by Google. People who are avoiding it typically do so for that reason, plus the enshittification of the platform over the past few years.

Dayamn. That played out ironically

Yeah. Such as: blocking the playback until the user disabled their adblocker, making it impossible to access 18+ content without signing up, repeatedly breaking third-party clients and frontends, apparently blocking the playback if the user is behind a VPN... I am now afraid they might eventually demand a login just to use the site at all. Doing my part in downloading everything I like at least.
