> I find it hard to justify the £12.99 a month, when I can only imagine half of it is going towards Youtube Music That's actually a good point, yes, forgot about that aspect. I think I didn't mention this because I bought my subscription over VPN in Ukraine and now pay about $2 per month. Unethical, probably. But, you know. if that stops working i'll probably have to find an alternative, as i absolutely hate and despise ads. > downloading YouTube videos to my NAS with yt-dlp yeah, same, this interests me as well. curate some sort of JSON file with channels you actually care about, and when new videos come out, download them locally and put them where my media streaming program can use them. then just delete them after they're watched, unless they're really important for some reason. i once started setting this up but got distracted halfway through and forgot about it :D there must be someone who already does this, but i didn't really find anything with a quick duckduckgo.
