I would love to vote with my feet. How do I watch YouTube or Instagram content with VLC, or some other user friendly video player?

Look into LibRedirect and the projects it uses and also things like youtube-dl/yt-dlp.

mpv understands URLs to these websites and uses yt-dlp to download them.
On KDE, I assigned an action to open some URLs with mpv, which means I can play then from the clipboard manager or the copy menu that is displayed when copying if it's enabled.
