Freetube still kind of loses on privacy when using the youtube backend, since invidious is basically dead. Yeah you don't have ads or the youtube client code, but you're still contacting google server...

I've used youtube-dl before, but I didn't realize there were automated tools for that method. Interesting. Of course Google doesn't like any of this and will always fight it. And I don't even necessarily blame them since I'm probably one of maybe three people on earth who do this AND pay for Premium.

I'm giving evil people my money to fund their exploitation of my privacy for further monetization. Ytdlp and pinchflat both require accounts (for which you must extract cookies) if you subscribe to more than like 5 channels even on a high trust residential IP.
