Have you noticed that youtube has started throttling the downloads
when you
use YouTube-DL software?
they've been doing that for roughly a month.
I haven't noticed. But then I'm still using XP with the old FFx
version 52.9 non ESR nonsense.
I use the latest 3d youtube downloader.
I do not see commercials with this setup. I'm going to keep it this
way.
I just downloaded two long videos with no problems.
It really irked me when YouTube upped the number of ads they were
showing, so I recently started giving them $10.99/mo for no ads.
They say they still need to pay the creators, so it seems fair enough.
98% of what I stream is from their platform, so that's my new "cable
bill". Of course, they have a lot of content which is advertising in disguise, but you watch that stuff by choice. Not seeing the ads is
better for my health! : ) If I log out of YouTube and start a video, I quickly realize I made a good choice when the ad starts playing. YMMV.
Exactly how I feel. And $13.99/month is a cheap cable bill. I don't
begrudge them that.
