YouTube confirms your pause screen is now fair game for ads
(www.theverge.com)
This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
Yt-DLP and it's variation (Seal, YTDLnis, etc.), newpipe and it's variation (Tubular, Newpipe Sponsorblock, etc) already allow you to do this without having to get manual.
And I use YTDLP now. At some point they will make it inoperable. I'm honestly surprised they haven't sorted it out yet.
Seal sold out. It's trash now
"Seal downloader" from the Playstore and "Seal" from F-Droid are 2 very different apps. One is a a clone riddled with ads, the other one is FOSS goodness. You are free to guess which is which.
