Dude, Youtube is cracking down hard and it's insanely frustrating. My go to for YEARS for getting video and audio pulled from youtube in order to make clips, transcribe, use found footage, etc has just stopped working, It's all throwing back errors.

Legacy platforms are literally becoming hot garbage. This is all such bullshit.

As much as it pisses me off, it's at least a (albeit slow) self correcting mechanism. Because if i can't record or download stuff from Youtube... I literally will use it half as much, *at best.*

Update your software and chill.

YouTube downloader?

What was your go-to? AnyVideoConverter?

Fiat world has been noticeably worse the past few years and growing in the wrong direction. So noticeable in fact that the average person is feeling it.

this has been expected and warned about for years. And it’s going to get much worse.

"Enshittification"

Late stage fiat. We're fixing this 🫡

YouTube should,be the alternative. Alternatives should be the primary channel like Rumble or something else. Only when people have been censored by Google do they perhaps consider an alternative.

Invidious for YT, which is what I do through many frontends (FreeTube for desktop, Yattee for iOS, NewPipe for Android, etc.). Odysee is what I also use as a mirror for if my YT went down.

I use newpipe client on android, can download videos or just the audio at the resolution / kbps of choice. Newpipe stills works fine. On my desktop, i have no problems accessing youtube not loged in even with a vpn... im on linux and use brave browser

yt-dlp does a good job keeping up with evading breaking changes

Video DownloadHelper is still working for Youtube. You'll need the companion app to download from Youtube. No license required on Linux. https://www.downloadhelper.net/

A lot of front end alternatives for YouTube got broken recently. Freetube invideous etc

Flipping unreal. The bifurcation of the tech world feels inevitable.

buy rumble and make it nostr video relays

YouTube has become soooo horrible to use and cringe

🇰 🇷 🇾 🇵 🇹 🇮 🇽 · 98w

You no doubt know this, but an alternative client/frontend could help. I have never used the official client, i use NewPipe or LibreTube and tend not to encounter too many issues.

We will make them obsolete.

John Gold · 98w

Invidious works well for me as an alternative frontend. Example instance https://iv.melmac.space/

newpipe has been diligently combatting YouTube's attempts. Foss will always win

Newpipe + Freetube

What video? `yt-dlp` still works for me, but they might be rolling out something new.

whoISjohngalt · 98w

Freetube was the best alternative, but, Tubular and Libretube work good.

Market forces are pretty powerful when they're allowed to exist.

Maybe the file sharing distribution platform you are developing with Pear runtimes could be used as a P2P video streaming platform too

Have a look at Invidious: https://yewtu.be/search?q=Nostr+documentary

As tempting as the allure of makin' a bunch of that YouTube ad money may be, the platform continues to show itself to be, as you so eloquently put it, "hot garbage" 🤢 Off I go to zap.stream I go! NoGood Radio is cookin' up some groovy beats, 24/7! https://zap.stream/p/npub12hcytyr8fumy3axde8w...

BTW if you are on Linux, either Parabolic or Video Downloader from flathub.org are great options to just download videos from YT. If you aren't on Linux, yt-dlp (what's in the backend of those apps) is available as an .exe.

Social media used to be the feeder for YouTube. Now YouTube will be a feeder for us while we build out the video platforms. Time to repurpose all the video assets you have and get them ready for uploading as soon as the platform switch is flipped.
