Shutout to my dear friend youtube-dl. Perfect tool if you want to download videos, especially if downloading large amounts of videos at once. It can take full playlists or channels or just txt file with list of videos
I wish PeerTube gained enough traction to be the competition of YT. I hate that Google think they know you better than yourself and uses that broken algorithm to send you thing you don’t want to see. If I tell 5 times I don’t want something a correct algorithm would say “I’m not sending you any more of this” instead of trying other 100 times to make you swallow the videos they want.
Youtube is just the database with video. Just use a different frontend. The problem is if I actually want recommended videos but without Google knowing about it, then it is hard due to the massive amount of videos. Only Google have the money so scan everything.
Yes, they can, like any other company or organization can. But they can’t remove the humans producing. That means the humans will just go anywhere else. Youtube is a standalone product that they probalby want to keep as I think it pays for itself with that amount of ads.
Libredirect is really nice. Question: Can it bypass the front page without being turned off, then back on for links opened in tabs etc? Can’t work out if it can.
Thank you all for the great suggestions. I’ve been using NewPipe on my phone for a while now. Do any of these YT alternatives come with support for 1440p resolution? I noticed Invidious is capped at 1080p and sometimes struggles to maintain a stable nitrate at high resolution.
Thank you for your response, but I was thinking more about the desktop implementations. Resolution is fine on my phone but I would like to max out my 37" WQHD screen.
Do any of Piped/invidious/freetube work in 4k? Every time I try these out the quality options seem quite bad. I would be happy to self host if it meant working 4k videos. Are there instances that do 4k, or is this just a limitation of the tech?
It proxies content, so whatever it can get from YouTube should be displayable, my guess is that its possible but most instances do not enable it for bandwidth and performance reasons
For now I have a doubt. I have a decent amount of games on steam. My account is in danger with these external games? Can I have 2 steam installations?(I know I can have 2 accounts)
No, your account is not in danger. Steam doesn’t care. It’s not like they could take any action even if they knew the non-steam game you added was pirated, in the first place. They don’t hold the IP of every game and cannot police you on their publishers’ behalf.
