It’ll probably end up being like twitch. You can either watch 5 minutes of blank or 5 minutes of ads. Either way, hopefully it won’t take yt-dlp long to be compatible. I mostly download my YouTube videos to a local server then search and watch them later just because my internet isn’t reliable. I assume this will soon become the only way to watch YouTube if you want to resist that idiotic propagandist.
Indeed, whatever they do, they won’t be able to stop people from downloading and watching later. And if they start baking ads into videos (which I doubt), there’s always sponsorblock. Possibly with some AI assistance eventually.
Even for me, I pay for Youtube Premium, if I can’t use SponsorBlock I’d probably watch way less youtube and consider canceling lol. Like it’s such a better experience. I was able to get it on my browser, phone and TV so I’m living the dream but I’m concerned.
