Comment on Google just broke *all* third-party web clients, including yt-dlp; a full JS implementation is now required.

I cancelled YT Premium after paying pretty much since Google Music was a thing. The price keeps going up, and Lite is meh even for the discounted price (e.g. no background play I think?).

They just keep building the wall higher and higher, while they survive only because creators keep filling it with content. Nobody is watching “YouTube Originals” or their first party content. YouTube exists solely because of third party creators.
