Solution is plain simple. Want video on YT/Vimeo look good on Mac export it with Rec.709-A gamma ( you can grade to any other gamma, but change export setting before rendering). That’s it.
For Windows do the same, but export as sRGB or 2.2 gamma. Best setting for both OS is probably sRGB gamma on export.
You can’t have fairly accurate preview on both systems which is industry biggest failure and requires actions from standardisation bodies like ITU ( and also Apple/MS down to BM/ Adobe).
Stop watching those videos as they’re useless and basically never give correct explanation/solution ( as single one doesn’t exist).
If you need to watch video this is the closest to proper explanation( although title is misleading as it’s not QT issue at all):
Whole issue is now understood and confirmed by people from companies which have required knowledge (eg. FSI, Baselight) as well as individuals who wasted days trying to get into root of the problem.
