Don’t tell people what to do. People don’t watch JRE for Joe (mostly), but for more his guests. Not only that, Joe is great and you’re a hater. Try harder. He’s not perfect but you likely sure aren’t either. Rogan podcast is fine and I recommend it.

dlc? Don't tell me that's a different one...
dlc is abandoned and dlp integrates its features.

The OS prevents you from screen recording when a new movie is playing? You can still use a third party tool to screen record right?
>The OS prevents you from screen recording when a new movie is playing? Yes. >You can still use a third party tool to screen record right? The third-party tool is as stymied by the OS / video driver's API for screen capture as the first-party tool.

Exactly. Personally I am done with indirect funding models where people burn my time and attention in hopes of getting me to waste enough money on something that surplus cash can be skimmed to pay for the original content. It's ridiculous. Direct payment or GTFO. And I'm putting my money where my mouth is. My Patreon bill was $150 this month. And that's not counting direct payments to creators.
I love this, but that means you are now paying 3 times: ads/premium, sponsored messages, and patreon. Even if you block ads - as well as the much more complicated sponsored messages - you are still paying by having to manage that system and work around its edge cases. Direct "donation" should include ad-free and sponosor-free access to videos.
Personally I just use adblock, skip the sponsor segments and live with it. Sponsor stuff is really easy to skip in my experience, especially on mobile where if you double tap the right side it skips 10 seconds. You get used to how many taps to do per content creator, their sponsor segments seem to be consistent lengths usually.
haven't paid attention to this since all the drama last year but again - what are all of you using youtube-dl for? Archiving your channel subs?

As much as I like this feature, it is scary on the other side how easy it is to essentially steal cookies - what yt-dlp can, so can malware. Why don't OSes have some sort of system-wide secret store linked to an user's account (like the macOS Keychain) and an application's code-signing certificate? That would at least prevent easy file-dump attacks, moving the barrier to "execute something in the browser process cont…
It’s annoying that this has been downvoted because having your identity in easily-readable files on your computer is literally worse than saving passwords in a text file: Passwords will prompt 2FA, notifications and whatnot; Cookies might just work, albeit temporarily.
I wonder if I should switch ArchiveBox to use this… is it available as easily via apt/pip/brew/Pkg/etc as YouTube-dL? Otherwise vendoring is always a pain.

"order of magnitude" implies 10x. That's great news for small / independent creators! Can someone point me to a source for this information?
It's hard to compare apples to apples, as ad revenue is based on amount of ads shown and your premium subscription is divvied up among your most watched creators based on watchtime [1] [1] https://support.google.com/youtube/answer/7060016?hl=en
At the risk of nerd sniping myself, thinking deeper, I wonder if people who sign up for YouTube Premium do less random surfing on YouTube and instead focus on a few channels they love? That would _further_ concentrate their payouts. If true, then the 10x figure sounds reasonable.

Are the sponsor parts really so bad? To me not only is it easy to skip, I want indie people to make enough money to produce high quality content; otherwise media is just what a few biggies want to fund. They’re not enough from YouTube itself unless you’re in the top percentile. Also what sponsored content are people downloading versus just streaming live? I don’t get the use case.
> Are the sponsor parts really so bad? To me not only is it easy to skip, I want indie people to make enough money to produce high quality content; otherwise media is just what a few biggies want to fund. In my experience, it's the same with ads everywhere else. It (usually) starts out not being overly obnoxious, with just a "this video is sponsored by [garbage tier mobile game/earphones/vpn/whatever] more about them…
I find the same with christmas adverts each year - I don’t do tv, but go out of my way to watch the adverts and get in the festive mood come December.
