fyi:

https://github.com/yt-dlp/yt-dlp lets you download videos (from youtube and also hundreds of other sites)

for desktop, https://mpv.io/ is free and lets you watch youtube (or any other video) at even more and faster speeds than youtube premium does, among many other features

for android, https://newpipe.net/ lets you play youtube in the background (and download videos, and block ads, ...)

https://ublockorigin.com/ blocks ads everywhere (and yes it does still work on youtube, at least in firefox anyway)

I never really liked youtube. But you've got to admit that sometimes, when you have a very niche tech problem, there is always one indian making just the right video for you.

This is the worst part of YouTube. Just read the manual.

I'll admit that once upon a time someone would have written up the solution somewhere and now it's buried in a fucking video.

The existence of this shitty platform makes the internet worse.
