Seriously, YouTube? (lemmy.ml)

I know they've been getting more controlling over time, but blocking an entire browser, really? I've been watching YouTube over Firefox for 5+ years now just fine, and now they shut me out arbitrarily? Nah, fuck that.

Edit: It's something wrong with the new LibreWolf update and my profile. Causes issues in both normal and private browsing, but not a different profile and is solved by switching user agent.

I've actually recently decided to start finding more peer tube channels to watch and slowly move away from YouTube. Eventually, Google is going to restrict YouTube to those who have a Google account and I will not be losing all my content because suddenly I can't use their service anymore.

Absolutely agree! Who knows how long some of the content is actually going to last on YouTube before they start burning the old stuff.

Anyone know of a way to bulk download off a YouTube playlist?

Is youtube-dl on linux still a thing?

yt-dlp

OP lost access to YT music, not normally YouTube. It's confusing.

[–] shortwavesurfer@lemmy.zip 1 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I saw nothing in the post or comments to suggest that. Am I missing something?

The giant YT Music logo at the top of the image wasn't glaringly obvious to you?

[–] shortwavesurfer@lemmy.zip 1 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I'm blind. I didn't even notice the image until you pointed out that it was there.

[–] Psythik@lemm.ee 2 points 1 week ago

Oh my bad. In that case it's OP's fault for not utilizing the alt text feature appropriately.
