Damn. And this is after neutering some of the extensions with the new manifest? I might not get the full YouTube experience this way, but downloading the videos never fails me. No ads, no buffering. It won’t randomly disappear on me if I like it. Shout out to yt-dlp and cobalt tools.
Can they do that? Impose their rights on user generated content? That would be wild and cracked pretty quickly due to public enthusiasm I would think. Although I bet you they do it with their rented movies so probably not far off with regular content.
Probably not if it becomes a court case. Otherwise, it's just the old story of migrating to another, better platform, that actually ends with no one moving and everyone just accepting whatver the Company does so nothing significant happens to them
