My worry with all this is that they might say fuck it and put DRM which would block attempts to download them. Not make it impossible as seen with streaming services but not as trivial as now…

I already subscribed to someone on Floatplane. If it gets much worse on YouTube, it might be time to switch fully.

It would be really cool to be able to download YouTube videos withour the sponsorship segments, I wonder if there is a way to do his already?
Euphoma@lemmy.ml 1 year ago
yt-dlp has a command-line option to download videos while using sponsor block.

Like the ads surrounding the video and breaking the video up or the spots in the video where the creator hawks their latest wares?

I swore I’ve seen a FOSS project that did that. An ad segment detector basically

Pirate everything, it’s the only way to show greedy corporations the content should be free.
quackers@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 year ago
Free wouldnt work either. nobody would make any content. its just that they excessively exploit everything to grab every last penny.
Fedegenerate@lemmynsfw.com 1 year ago
Except it was free, and people did make content.

This is why privacy is justified. The only way is not to pay!
