I always use yt-dlp do download youtube videos. It doesn't require installation, you just download and run it.
I was just looking at this. Do you typically run it behind a VPN or do you expose your actual IP?
I've never used a VPN with it.
okay. Thanks. Gonna give it a go. It seems to be the one everyone is using.
If you want a gui for android take a look at Seal, for Linux Parabolic.
Yeah, I used to use yt-dl(whatever) but Seal is just so much more convenient
I’ve never used a VPN with it either. But it should work, especially with an exit node in a country where Google has no incentive to/is prohibited from interfering with third party viewers.
but unless i am missing some edge case, there isn't really a reason, downloading video from youtube is perfectly legal, it wouldn't work otherwise after all
Love the handle, BTW. :)
I think downloading is against Google’s TOS. Whether that makes it illegal is a question for a lawyer.
thank you
maybe, but you are not going to jail for that. at least not today.
