I was going to say this about old Windows programs, like Dope Wars, however the original developer carried it over to the app store and it can be bought for a dollar.

It’s not working for Miruro or AnimeKai.

I’m not a fan of torrenting and haven’t bothered with them in like, geez, I think 16 some odd years. I like DDLs and I like more convenient options. I don’t want to bother being an easy target, I don’t want to mess with protocols, timing and any other hassle just to torrent. I am done with those days.

How does one use this yt-dlp I’ve heard about?

Because my assumption immediately was it was for YouTube, but I quickly searched it to find it can support ‘thousands’ of websites.

tidals starting to heavily crack down on monochrome.

And yet, people keep fucking recommending to use Tidal as a Spotify alternative. Fuck that app. 30 second songs until you play can go to hell.

Yes, you’d be right and I don’t like anyone who boasts, gloats and brags about their pirating activities. We’re all pirating for a varied assortment of reasons, personal or spite or logical, but it comes down to the fact that we’re getting stuff for free and saves us tons of money. So, we all should universally be in glee about that alone. However, being louder about it, increases risks and chances of our sources being taken from us before we know it.

A lot of great sources of pirating has been taken from us over the past 5 years, sources we’d never thought would be taken down (before anyone says The Pirate Bay, that site has long lost its purpose, its symbolism now.) Sometimes it isn’t because people were loud, it is just because of the network of government bodies being in bed with entertainment industries and law enforcement that are really throwing everything at the wall to take down piracy in general.

But sometimes, they wouldn’t have targeted anything if the loud-mouths would shut up.
