Apparantly, YouTube has fully rolled out their blocking of residential IPs. Things such as Freetube do not seem to be affected.

I think this should serve as a warning for us all to download everything you can get your hands on, while privacy respecting YouTube front ends are still available.

I'm thinking of starting a community where people can post magnet links to the YouTube videos they've downloaded and are willing to seed. Do torrent sites allow YouTube videos? Since they are technically already free.

Do you think I should download using yt-dlp or proxy my downloads via a running instance?

I'm also wondering about the nature of what the IP bans are targeting. I'm on a shared network at home and concerned it might ban youtube for others. Do you know if youtube.com would fail to load videos or would this somehow only affect yt-dlp and friends?

New version of Newpipe just dropped. Working much better now

Don't do Youtube a favor by saving the videos it hosts.

The more people are inconvenienced by Google, the more Youtubers are squeezed by Google and the more annoyed subscribers they lose, the better for alternative platforms.

Let Youtube enshittify itself to oblivion.

Wouldn't that same effect happen if people started to pirate YT videos on other platforms? The creators lose viewers and revenue, so they'll be pissed either way.
