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.
You’re looking for yt-dlp
OK, yt-dlp is awesome. It does things even beyond YouTube exceptionally well. The whole downside is that not everyone is a data horder with the space for videos. If you don’t have a spare 5 tb , place the YouTube url into a Bing search - no ads, no login
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.
I had no idea. Thanks for this!
ETA: YouTube videos look 5x better like this.
Or use freetube, etc.
On mobile I use Seal. It’s yt-dlp packaged into an Android app
Wow this is a really good app! Thanks
This is a godsend for downloads.
