PeerTube (source) is an open-source alternative to Youtube. Videos are hosted on a decentralized server network and bandwidth is shared between users.

An ethical recommendation system like Tournesol could be an interesting feature for Peertube users, who are usually concerned about Youtube supremacy.

Peertube works with plugins that can be installed by instance administrators. So creating a Tournesol plugin for Peertube is probably the way to do.

Note that it's probably a little more work than #48, because it requires to evaluate non-Youtube videos. In particular, evaluating videos that belongs to a federated network and not a central website is probably not that simple, but SepiaSearch, the new Peertube's global search engine, could be used here.

If the Tournesol organization appreciate this suggestion, it makes sense for the organization to host a Peertube instance dedicated to the Tournesol project, in order to work on this plugin and let users test it and send feedback. To kill two birds with one stone, maybe @lenhoanglnh could also use this instance to share its science videos on a more ethical platform.
