While we're on the subject of re-directors, if you're on Firefox (or better yet, Waterfox), there's an add on called Invidition. It takes Youtube links and redirects them to their counterparts on Invidious. It also redirects Twitter links to Nitter. https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/invidition/

This reminds me, there should be a thread on here for alternative software/websites/protocols. I might make it myself later, or leave it to someone who's actually a name around here. Not sure yet.
