My credit card has expired and thus my youtube premium with it.

I received some alerts from YT before it happened and now the subscription has been terminated and the first video I watched without the premium had 3 ads in 5 minutes.

3 ads. In 5 minutes.

I’m disgusted. My hatred towards the greedy corporations has been gradually exceeding the boiling point for the past couple of years and now I experienced how YouTube tries to force it’s users to pay the tribute.

I’m using YT a lot so I’d take no issue paying if it just improved the experience, but not if it’s the only way to use the “free” app. I’m not gonna get my money extorted by a fucking corporation.

Fuck them, intalling ReVanced now.

    My preferred method is a python script that takes a YouTube video in my clipboard and uses yt-dlp to download it to a folder that my Plex server watches.

    There are easier ways to achive this, but I like the manual approach. It means I don’t vegetate on the sofa, scrolling through everything. Also, it means my hard drive doesn’t fill up with videos I’ll never get around to watching.

      I use a similar approach but i subscribe to channels with pinchflat and it downloads them to a folder for jellyfin. I like that i only get my channels and cant keep “exploring”.
