    Then use alternative youtube clients, like piped or freetube.

    Or even better: spend money (if you can afford it) to host a peertube instance that automatically rips the videos off of youtube.

    That’s an even stronger message that you’d rather spend money than use their crappy free services.

      Oh that’s amazing. I’m gonna see about doing that for channels I actively watch. Gives me an excuse to unfuck my NAS storage too since then it’ll be full faster.

      Do you know of any software that does that already (I assume PeerTube itself doesn’t)?

      Piped doesn’t work most of the time. In fact, I can’t remember a single Piped link actually loading the video. And I don’t have money to spend.
