What this? I cant hear you over my high definition yt-dlp content.

Where i am going I haven’t needed a google account in over a year.

What will happen when ads are injected in the video stream directly.

At that point i will either have to use an ai tool to scrub the filth out

Consider if i really need whatever content is within it and touch some grass instead.

The same thing that happened with sponsored segments.

[-] brbposting@sh.itjust.works 11 points 4 months ago

Look forward to the day they require eye tracking & answering questions about the ads they showed

Please drink a verification can.

Then those prompts will be skipped. Just like you can skip age verification with user scripts

Sponsored segments are fixed. Injected ads won't be.

With yt-dlp? Skip them manually.

Like, my main issue with ads is all the tracking they do. If they add non-targeted ads to the video file I downloaded, whatever, I'll just fast forward through that part of the video.

Personally, I use Tubular on my phone ( Newpipe fork with sponsorBlock ), freetube on PC, and Smart tube on my android tv.

Are you familiar with Jellyfin?

If you can set up a server of this then its as easy as making the library folder the output folder for yt-dlp

I didnt even have to write me own script. I gave chatgpt a notepad with channel urls and just told it to write me code to load these urls one by one and download the Last 2 videos. (Trust me you dont want to accidentally download a whole channel). Yt dlp can maintain a log of sort so videos aren't downloaded more then once.

I run this script on a schedule and delete the video when i am done with it. Nice and clean. I can also recommend trying to run an invididious instance for general video browsing but mine took some twiddling to setup right.
