The links provided don't seem to work, have they taken the video down?

Same here, but the Piped link seems to work:

Lol sorry bro, clearly privacy friendly sites needs some work. Updated to YouTube link.

Looks like a YouTube front end or something

Personally I'd rather people link the original video and have a bot in the comments give the other links

Here is an alternative Piped link(s):

https://www.piped.video/watch?v=PyqNYGCmkQU

Piped is a privacy-respecting open-source alternative frontend to YouTube.

I'm open-source; check me out at GitHub.

Getting an error on that one, the mirrors appear down. No chance YouTube would block a critical video.
