Locally!!!
I'm hosting it in my own network. I access it. no one else!!
And I'm doing it, so I can tell you: It's almost no effort hosting Invidious locally for yourself. It just works. And if YouTube breaks something every 2 months, you can usually "docker compose pull; docker compose down; docker compose up" and it works again.
Just in case it is not clear: Invidious is an alternative YouTube frontend. In the backend, it uses YouTube. It's not some kind of Fediverse thing. You cannot upload videos with it / on it and you can be the only user ever using it.

Conclusion: low effort to host locally.
