An archivist might want to keep both the original and an integration that strips the sponsor
Is there a way of attaching cut instructions to a video file that players recognize?
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?

But what then do you think is a realistic alternative? YouTube costing $20/mo or more? Can’t watch videos without a patron? If your answer is nothing — I expect everything for free, then that’s both unrealistic and parasitic.
What is the difference between running this code and simply clicking ahead on the video timeline past the ad? How is it any different from recording a show on tape and just fastforwarding past the commercials?

I'm perfectly fine with businesses that use intrusive ads going out of business - none of this is essential to my well being. The onus is on them to find revenue gathering methods that don't suck, not me. And before you say "but creators have to make money too" - independent art gets created just fine without capitalistic motives, and I vastly prefer the patreon model, or just paying up front for larger content (docu…
It's grotesque that they think this is an ideal way to promote fan appreciation. I mean, the music styles don't even sync: You could be listening to Bach, with a playback history that clearly shows a preference for classical music, and some idiotic teen pop song by some attention-desperate, barely known singer starts playing via ad, which if you don't click to skip it (say you're in the kitchen with your hands dirty while listening to your interrupted Bach) will play FULLY for its entire 3 to 4 minute duration. Just bloody stupid...
I pay for YouTube premium, but this beautiful piece of software automatically strips out the commercials from the videos and it seems I can download any video from YouTube even without logging in. My question is the following: What is benefit of setting my credentials to the config file?

Android? Youtube vanced offers this built-in.
iOS/Mac OS X
youtube has recently been implementing download speed throttling on some video downloads. See: https://github.com/ytdl-org/youtube-dl/issues/29326 . Youtube-dl does not yet have a solution for this occasional download speed throttling. This yt-dlp fork has a workaround (though not a true fix) for the issue: https://github.com/ytdl-org/youtube-dl/issues/29326#issuecom...

Why not just throw some money at their patreon, or buy some merch? Fairly sure they'll get more of that anyway.
I'd be willing to pay 5€/mo for ad less youtube. That can't be achieved by patreon in any shape or form and youtuber merch is pretty cringe.

YouTube is not a hobby? Interesting. I don't think I ever thought it was. I guess I consider it closer to art. Plenty of musicians, artists perform/create with no prospect of monetary gain. They do it for the accolades. They do it for the positive feedback. They do it because they have to: they're artists. I suspect YouTubers like "Applied Science" are artists of a sort. I guess I'm drawn to YouTube artists.
I am conflating things in my mind a bit because most of the comments on my own videos that complain about sponsors or other revenue options use the "not as passionate" argument alongside the idea of "Youtube should just be a hobby". My apologies if that came off wrong. But it is inevitable that anyone making videos that is successful will have to treat it as a business because it is work. Applied Science is a good ex…
Gessoing a canvas is work. Setting up, taking down a drum kit is work too. If you want the world to see your hobby, or your art, there is a cost involved. We accept that cost for exposure in return: for the joy of sharing in return.
I don't fault anyone wanting to make money from their hobby or their art. But I also respect a little more perhaps those, like Applied Science, that don't want to ... sully their art with a blatant sponsor plug.
Again though, I'm just a viewer, fan, enthusiast, lurker — the content creators get to make their own rules, I don't get to tell them how to run their channel.
Subscribed to your YT channel, BTW. Wrote a very early game on the Commodore PET, LOL.
