If it takes too long to load I just use yt-dlp to download the video or whole playlist and watch it later. Do I care that it's putting additional strain on YouTube's servers? Indeed, I'm devastated and overtaken with guilt ๐ These are tears of regret, I swear ๐
yt-dlp is fucking awesome and it will be a sad day if it ever gets taken down or blocked.
