That is literally what browser bookmarks are meant for.
A "list of videos to watch later" can quickly become a dreaded multiple hour homework assignment. My "favorites" list on the steaming service is a graveyard of movies I thought I wanted to watch.
Mood.
Would bookmark folders suffice for organizing?
Or go retro and have a tree of bookmarks as an unordered list, with the top level of the tree as the folders or categories.
I think that was the initial idea behind Pocket but no idea how it has developed since then.
Yes you can achieve this with Pocket or Wallabag, a FOSS alternative.
Wallabag also have an automatic tag feature that can add tag based on the URL, so it would be possible to make different reading lists as you suggested: https://doc.wallabag.org/en/user/configuration/tagging_rules.html
The many tools around this are interesting. "Web clipping" I think is the generic phrase for it. I got kind of deep into it from of a desire to wrangle ADHD, and a bit of datahoarding and knowledge mapping. Omnivore is one I liked for text articles, and there's super niche applications like Zotero.
I like to use Hypothes.is for annotating stuff I read in depth
Yeah, I was gonna say Pocket does this pretty well. You just have to Copy+Paste links.
Organize you bookmarks? It's a simple folder hierarchy, not rocket science.
You could save them to an RSS Reader
Save the videos, put them on a NAS and use a fancy frontend like Infuse to view your collection.
Couldn't you simply use search-word filtering on the bookmarks?
Just write the URL down on a piece of paper. Break it out when you have some time to kill.
A text file(s) with a list of links. Use LibRedirect or some other redirector extension to redirect the links to the instance of your choosing, just change the redirector when you want to change instances.
Also- Couldn't you add 'groups' to your current setup by just creating folders in your existing bookmarks? (assuming you're using bookmarks that are baked into your browser)
I use tabs on Firefox and move the websites/videos that I want to read/view later on a specific tab.
not sure what you mean by across different websites but imdb and letterboxd do this or any todo list app.

No such thing. Ask away!
!nostupidquestions is a community dedicated to being helpful and answering each others' questions on various topics.
The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules (interactive)
Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.

Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.
Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Questions which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it's in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.
If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.
Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.
If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.
