    I pay for it. No ads. Background playing on mobile, and YouTube music included.

      I’m in a family plan, so when this change hits, going to have to find alternative methods.

            How does one pirate free videos? Is there somebody uploading torrents of YouTube videos?

              when all the videos get put behind login walls and drm, perhaps someone will.

                Yt-dlp doesn’t pirate YouTube videos… it downloads them directly from YouTube.

                  it downloads them directly from YouTube

                  Thus, pirating them. More or less by the same method that is used to download every single WEB-DL movie/episode you see on torrent sites.

                    It’s not pirating if you’re obtaining a video that they’re making available to you for free lmao.

                    Otherwise it would be “pirating” to just load up YouTube.com in your browser and watching any old video.

      So you’re using SponsorBlock as well, or you’re watching videos without sponsors.

        In-video sponsors are not even remotely the same thing as the ads YouTube puts on videos, but that being said no I’m not using SponsorBlock. YouTube premium has a button to skip in-video sponsors so I don’t need sponsor block.
