It should be yes, though to be fair Americans are the worst for doing this when it’s the other way round.

Can you save it DRM-free? That’s all I ask for.

there are communities suffering from mass and badly controlled migration

Communities are suffering from 14 years of misgovernment, that’s what people should be angry at, blaming migration hands the tories a massive free pass.

Shouldn’t they also use the same bullshit excuse when issuing an ID card? At least make the dumb rules consistent.

To be fair, ID cards aren’t common in the UK and passports are very common. This is quite probably the first time she’s applied for any form of ID. Not agreeing with it, just saying.

Hence the fight. Why do I feel like I’m being taken oddly literally here today?

I know that but it still feels like paying twice, or paying extra for something that should be standard in any sane world. Presumably this software doesn’t give you a download licence.

Paying money to download content I’ve already paid for?

Yes I’m aware of that, I assumed that a site recommended on here would have that as a main feature otherwise it’s not much use for archiving. I already tried yt-dlp and it doesn’t seem to be supported.

There doesn’t seem to be any way of saving videos there, am I missing something?

Happy to be here!

I strongly believe nuisance advertising should be fought separately from privacy concerns. Both are valid concerns but need a different approach. Advertising based on website visits that collect user data is privacy intrusive, but an ad baked into a YouTube video is probably not (regardless of whether it’s annoying or not).
