youtube’s been testing various ways of limiting access, both for downloaders and real users with adblockers most fucked up experiment being forced DRM for ALL videos, even those that are licensed as CC: https://github.com/yt-dlp/yt-dlp/issues/12563 feels like it will only get worse from now on 🫠

If rolled out widely, this would make web browsers and third-party YouTube clients without a DRM license unusable for YouTube playback, download, etc. This would include almost all open-source web browsers and almost all third-party YouTube clients. Archive link to reddit post about this

    None of them. You know this answer. They would screech if it were $50 a month.

    Just bring up kagi and see how many folks make up excuses why they suck and ain’t worth it.

    They just want a post facto reason to justify their pirating and stealing. They never were going to pay.
