youtube’s been testing various ways of limiting access, both for downloaders and real users with adblockers most fucked up experiment being forced DRM for ALL videos, even those that are licensed as CC: https://github.com/yt-dlp/yt-dlp/issues/12563 feels like it will only get worse from now on 🫠

If rolled out widely, this would make web browsers and third-party YouTube clients without a DRM license unusable for YouTube playback, download, etc. This would include almost all open-source web browsers and almost all third-party YouTube clients. Archive link to reddit post about this

    Dropout really needs some way to interact, even if it’s just a shared fanmail address. I don’t think my view counts make it clear how much I appreciate some of their content and talent.

    I tried to contact Grant O’Brien through Twitter (made an account specifically for that), but it didn’t look like he was very active at all, probably got more interesting stuff going on. But no artist is too busy to read fanmail, right?
