Then use alternative youtube clients, like piped or freetube.
Or even better: spend money (if you can afford it) to host a peertube instance that automatically rips the videos off of youtube.
That's an even stronger message that you'd rather spend money than use their crappy free services.

Oh that’s amazing. I’m gonna see about doing that for channels I actively watch. Gives me an excuse to unfuck my NAS storage too since then it’ll be full faster.
Do you know of any software that does that already (I assume PeerTube itself doesn’t)?
Peertube does indeed have that functionality
Nice!
Didnt know this could be done, looks like ive got something new to throw on the home server.
Piped doesn't work most of the time. In fact, I can't remember a single Piped link actually loading the video. And I don't have money to spend.
This is true. I have been having a GREAT time with Freetube
that sounds EXPENSIVE, ima stick with piped lest my wallet get piped
it's not cheap, but it's not prohibitively expensive either, unless you watch a prohibitive amount of youtube (i.e. you watch youtube 24/7)
You can get a 10TB hard drive for slightly under 200 dollars today, then just throw it in an old computer (even if the parts are 10+ years old, it's fine), install a linux distro and install peertube.
