Honestly, I couldn't give tuppenny fuck about background play, or any of the other shit they bundle in. I literally just want to be able to watch YT on my Apple TV without having to suffer through unending adverts, but I'm not prepared to pay those ratfucking shit heads £20+ for the family plan just to be able to do that.

I was happy as shit using my Ukrainian YT Premium account, paying £4 a month to watch videos. It was great. Never used YT Music because I didn't fucking want to, never had videos playing in the background because I didn't fucking need to. Then they were all like "Errr, we don't think you're in Ukraine so you have to pay us more". And fuck that noise.

So now I watch the odd video on my laptop on Freetube and have been researching how to run the thing that automatically downloads my subs and adds them to Plex. I'm a dumb shit though, so can't figure it out.

I didn't even think about adding yt stuff to Plex. Thanks for mentioning it, I'll go into that rabbit hole now

If you can figure out the automation then you're a better person than I.

I've installed the thing on my old Linux MacBook, but I'm fucked if I can figure out how to actually get it to work.
