Open the video in an incognito tab, the limit is probably linked to your youtube/google account.

This is what i did when i got the "we are going to start blocking playback ...." Message and it worked great. Moral of the story is track content creators you like with rss and you dont need to be logged in.

  I was planning to code this with yt-dlp, to just download the videos and never open the webside again.... I just have to figure out how to implement sponsor-block, to remove the "this video is sponsored by shadow raid vpn" messages... probably can be done with ffmpeg :)

    either use and nvidous instance that had sponsorblock(?) or use mpv with the sponsorblock script in your program

    Good news! yt-dlp already has sponsorblock built-in :-) Have a look in the --help text output for the "sponsorblock-remove" arg.

    just fyi, but this already exists via platforms like invidious, which is like a self-hosted youtube proxy that you interact with, and it dumps files to disk/etc. there are some other similar things already too. not that you shouldn't use yt-dlp, because it's great! and yes, as others mention - you can have yt-dlp use sponsorblock to cut out the ad sections too.

    At the point where you're removing sponsor messages within a downloaded copy - of hope you're also sponsoring on patron or buying merch or something. There's a point where there needs to be some sort of revenue source to incentivize further content creation

That's the footgun in google's strategy. In the all-stick no-carrot spirit of modern marketing incentives, they made their unpaid access worse without improving Premium. That only works if the garden has walls, and logging in to youtube is optional. Now youtube use falls into three options: 1) Don't log in to google, block ads. Data collected by google is lower value, resulting in less targeted internet-wide marketing, including on youtube itself when you clear your browsing session. 2) Log in. Lose time to ads. Trying to avoid this may put your entire google account at risk. Also, you gain highly targeted marketing thanks to higher quality data collection. Youtube's viewing suggestions are targeted, limiting discovery, and may become highly pigeonholed over time. 3) Pay for Premium. All the same as 2) but with less ads. As a consumer, logging out of google and blocking youtube ads has been made by google a better experience than their own premium product. Only the producers of the majority of youtube's product are required to consume what google is doing.

  This is only true, until they stop video playback for not-logged-in users. Twitter is pretty much useless unless you have an account, can't even see replies anymore.
