Ashton Forbes, a healthcare IT consultant turned UFO/UAP proponent, gained attention for promoting videos claiming Malaysia Airlines Flight 370 disappeared due to alien interference, despite evidence debunking the footage. Later, Forbes fell victim to a $3,000 scam involving fake evidence supporting his beliefs, but continued to assert a conspiracy against him.

God I wish Rebecca Watson (and all the other good YouTubers for that matter) would just dual release her content as audio podcasts.

You can download the audio portion of YouTube videos. The website TubeRipper is one such option.

That's always NewPipe on android too. ReVanced integration makes it a breeze.

If you're at all comfortable with your PC's command line, it's trivial to download just the audio from YouTube video using the yt-dlp program.
