Similar Web has no idea of traffic over third party apps to start with. So it wouldn’t even notice a difference at July 1st.

Why do you need to host youtube-dl?

How hard is it? Did you use the official guide? I looked into Mastodon and it was a bit too custom and annoying to spin up.

Was it r/cordcutters? So good not self hosting even dumb things especially when friends and family use it. I’d rather just fork out for the bill myself.
