99% time I use YouTube the following way: I download the videos for archival, extract the audio tracks and listen to the in an audiobook app (which is good at adjusting the speed up to 3x and remembering positions I pause at in every track I listen) while commuting or doing chores. I think would consume up to 98% less content if I couldn't do it this way.
It is also important to mention that the YouTube website itself (I don't mean the videos - only the HTML&JS part) is among the slowest websites on the internet, painfully slow to use on Raspberry Pi and old computers.
- sdoering 5y agoMay I ask what audio book app you are using?
- qwerty456127 5y agoIt's Smart AudioBook Player by Alex Software on Google Play. The paid version - extremely cheap and totally worth it.

- numlock86 5y ago> I download the videos for archival, extract the audio tracks and listen to the in an audiobook app There's the "-x" option flag (combine with "-f bestaudio") which will only download the audio. No need for manually extracting.
