Irony.

Because it is. This is ragebait.

I think you should probably take your own advice.

You’re not my real mom.

Piracy, my friend. Fuck devs like this.

You must have a piss-poor adblocker.

I’m guessing you loaded the article while connected to a VPN.

Youtube doesn’t let you download the videos directly. If they did, you’d be right. The fact that the original yt-dl was shut down by Youtube kinda disproves your point all by itself.

it downloads them directly from YouTube

Thus, pirating them. More or less by the same method that is used to download every single WEB-DL movie/episode you see on torrent sites.

The front page is a direct reflection of the content you engage with.

It’d be real nice if people would actually use their brains and realize this.

How have you never heard of yt-dlp?

Incognito window =)

Running personalDNSFilter (whole phone, non-root adblocker) blocks ads just fine for me in the official unmodified Youtube app.

Chrome + Ublock Origin Lite also still works, fyi.

Pretty easy to know, in fact. Same way Netflix, Disney, or HBO knows. Same account, accessed simultaneously from two distinct IP addresses. Not really rocket surgery.
