wouldn't this also download the ad, if it gets injected in the video stream?

[-] kota@hexbear.net 23 points 5 months ago

Yep... might be a good idea to archive your favorite videos, tutorials, etc before it's rolled out to everyone

It'll be a matter of time before we have a database of frame by frame hashes for each video. You can throw pretty much anything you want at the problem once you're outside of the browser.

Noo! What the fuck. They're breaking YT-dlp... Fuck sake. Hopefully they can code in a workaround.

youtube-dl gets broken every few months. this is not something without precedent.

yeah, but at least you could fast forward it if it's in your own video player

Seems like a lot of people are having trouble using that too. YouTube's lately been blocking Invidious, Piped, and NewPipe from accessing videos.

Sure would be cool to have a functional government that stepped in and said "you have a monopoly, assholes. Stop crying about the 0.1% of nerds going around your ads." Then confiscate all the assets of the CEO and other top executives
