I watched the "Robert Elder's Favourite Linux Command" YouTube playlist and learned a lot of ways to improve upon my scripts in Linux.

I tend to have to fish for instances, whether it's Piped (which I believe hasn't been working for a while) or Invidious, especially those that have the latest patches. It's a war between YouTube and privacy frontends, so I constantly switch between multiple apps on my phone and the web instances. Grayjay on Android has been the most reliable.

I'm happy the playlist helped you. One of my favorite commands I learned and wasn't familiar with is the mkfifo command. This command is really handy as I didn't know it was possible to save a pipe into memory without needing to make a temporary file.
