It's a hell of a lot more convenient to go to a shady site with an adblocker installed than install/update Python and a couple command line packages before manually performing conversion yourself.

You can yt-dlg right off the microsoft store on windows which is just a straight up GUI for yt-dlp.

rarely use the cli anymore. the gui works pretty well.

"A couple command line packages", well, since both yt-dlp and ffmpeg are command line tools and two technically qualifies as "a couple", this is technically correct, but making it seem like much more of a big deal than it is at the same time.

Also, you do not have to install Python for any of this. Never mind having Python installed is a good idea anyway.

two doesnt 'qualify' as a couple. two IS couple. a couple is two

yt-dlp has the -x option to extract the audio, and as far as I can tell it doesn't reencode which is fast. Ripping music from youtube is a single command. yt-dlp -x url

True, but it needs ffmpeg in its path to do that.

This has the same vibes as one of those commercials that tries to sell a convoluted single use kitchen tool by showing a bunch of people too disingenuously incompetent to handle the established standard, actually simple, way of doing it.

This sort of thing. Make the simple problem seem impossible to solve, so the useless product feels more necessary.

/r/wheredidthesodago, one of my old stomping grounds, was dedicated to this

on linux at least, its one command to install, one command to run. worth the 'effort'
