For youtube just use yt-dlp and download them, can be behind a vpn when you do it. Im not sure if that affects the creator making money though.
Comment on What is this shit? I have to be signed in to watch any video now?
frittoBee@lemmy.world 3 weeks agoI’m also mostly de-Googled now. I’m not signed in anywhere and don’t use most of the google stuff. It wasn’t really that hard since there are great alternatives. But saying no to YouTube and all the nice channels I’m following is really hard.

The nice channels, those days are gone. The internet we knew has been destroyed or will be diminished to an annoying shadow pretty soon. If you had to put a % on what is now monitized what would it be?

The primitive technology guy is still going. Wish I could afford the land to try some of the things he does.
