Not a stupid question. It does not look like at the moment, wouldn’t say it’s impossible though. As we progress with better and better technology I personally think it is an inevitability.

There a plenty of science fiction books and shows that focus on this.

True true, just pointing it out as I thought it was more recent.

This is From 03/03/2026

Not exactly sure what the end goal is. To get YouTube content but not pay? YouTube is free at the point of use. There are great adblockers like ublock Origin and SponsorBlock that can be used on mobile (android) devices and web browsers to rid yourself of ads.

There are resources available to download YouTube videos and save a ‘local copy’ like yt-dl. This is only practical for selected videos. For education purposes of course.

The main issue is that there is a huge volume of YouTube content though. Like 8 hours per second. That becomes prohibitively expensive and impractical.

Not that I am suggesting you use these tools :)

There are alternatives like peer tube that is decentralised, some leftist creaters are on meanstv.

EDIT: spelling and clarifying

all good now, I think it was a syntax issue on my part. I could connect fine before making the changes but after checking the spaces for the YAML file its all working now

Thank you, I think it did not like the syntax I had when uncommenting all working now :)

I wonder why so many are putting their lives at risk to make this crossing. cannot think of any reason for the life of me

Got board and stated reading the controversial comments. The mental gymnastics here are just… so much defensiveness for something that was clear at the time. Even back then.

Thanks, will take a look a my setup

I mean… damn, the US is not a real place

Liberals rely on you never reading lol
