I signed up for YouTube Premium because I wanted to watch some videos offline (on a flight). The download speed is awful. Now I use YouTube-dl when I want to watch videos offline. I still have Premium because ad-free is great!

I did. If you're a developer, for a personal machine it's both easy and straightforward (I have work provided machines that use other OS's but that's outside the scope of this post). Do a little research on HW that works well with Linux (I went all AMD). Purchase, wipe, install distro of your choice (I went with Manjaro, because of Arch, doesn't really matter). It's been about 2 years and I haven't had a single serio…
Better yet. Buy from a company that won't charge you for the Windows licence you don't want. I'm a developer.

they can put fingerprints/watermarks into the analogue signal pretty easily if they're scared of that plus the analogue hole is disappearing rapidly (including the 3.5mm jack)

Dual boot on your current PC, no time like the present. Bonus: you add years to the useful life of the machine, because most Linuxes fly even when Windows chugs.
Fifteen minutes to get up and running with Ubuntu or Mint if you stay focused. A lot of people don’t realize that LibreOffice, Steam, and Discord are all fully usable on Linux these days.

fingerprinting can survive both of those
99% time I use YouTube the following way: I download the videos for archival, extract the audio tracks and listen to the in an audiobook app (which is good at adjusting the speed up to 3x and remembering positions I pause at in every track I listen) while commuting or doing chores. I think would consume up to 98% less content if I couldn't do it this way. It is also important to mention that the YouTube website itsel…
> I download the videos for archival, extract the audio tracks and listen to the in an audiobook app There's the "-x" option flag (combine with "-f bestaudio") which will only download the audio. No need for manually extracting.
