I post videos a few times a year to share events with family. I just posted a few yesterday. I can't in good faith continue to post to YT and encourage my family to use it as the platform declares war on their users.

But what else is there that allows me to post videos for free and my family can just watch them without having to install a new app, register for yet another service or configure some obscure plug in?

There's other services, but they're populated largely by the sort of people Youtube has kicked off entirely, which some people don't like.

You could post the video to Dropbox or something? They might have to download the full video before playback, but i wouldn't be surprised if some file sharing services are smart enough to stream video.

Odysee fits the bill but be warned there are some conspiracy theorists nuts and nerds on there.
