Don’t just “delete” Twitter as in deleting the app. Please also close your account.

Because of the CORS settings on Google’s servers would tell your browser to not go forward with the request. There are two ways it could eventually be possible:
- By opening the video in a new page/tab that only contains the video, with the YouTube player, which defeats the purpose a bit.
- By installing an addon or an app on your device.

That’s interesting. I assume this only applies to the mobile client. On the web, it would not be possible. You can verify by looking at the outgoing network requests on this random video for example: invidious.privacyredirect.com/watch?v=qKMcKQCQxxI

Invidious and YouTube piped (and LibreTube) by default load the videos server-side, as opposed to GrayJay, NewPipe or Smarttube.
It has advantages (mostly that your IP address is not shared with YouTube, and it allows users from countries where YouTube is blocked to still access it) and inconvenients (much harder to keep up when YouTube actively seeks to block them).
