I recently got my (via VPN) YouTube subscription cancelled and now I am wondering, if YouTube videos are findable in the usenet or using torrent tracker.
Does anyone already have experience with this? I block ads, but it seems not like a sustainable solution.
Some media players allows for streaming directly using yt-dlp, e.g.;
mpv <youtube url>Will use yt-dlp if installed
+1 to this but also, If you’re on Linux, I’d recommend Freetube.
It’s on Flathub and allows you to use SponsorBlock.
Mpv has plugins that include sponsorblock, but freetube and others aren’t bad as well.
I use FreeTube a lot, but wow the quality difference is insane.
Freetube also runs on MacOS!
I had no idea. Thanks for this!
ETA: YouTube videos look 5x better like this.
