A nice, simple solution of having a file and an app that can read that file. Hard to believe people are suggesting setting up a whole e-mail server to read one file.

I’ve not seen that issue for maybe a year. I use the Parabolic flatpak app which uses yt-dlp under the hood. Sometimes Google has the upper hand for a week or two, but then the app catches up.

I use Tor Browser to find videos and download to watch with yt-dlp. I used to use Freetube app which was also good.

Consider also the energy and water they use to cool the datacentre equipment, which doesn’t usually happen at home.

Same, bought Netscape Navigator on floppy disks because I didn’t know how to download it

Edit: not at home, but I recall in 1994 downloading Wayne’s World and Ren & Stimpy clips with Gopher on the university network. Good times.
