I recently got my (via VPN) YouTube subscription cancelled and now I am wondering, if YouTube videos are findable in the usenet or using torrent tracker.
Does anyone already have experience with this? I block ads, but it seems not like a sustainable solution.
You’re looking for yt-dlp
This is a godsend for downloads.

Or use freetube, etc.
Some media players allows for streaming directly using yt-dlp, e.g.;
mpv <youtube urlWill use yt-dlp if installed
+1 to this but also, If you’re on Linux, I’d recommend Freetube.
It’s on Flathub and allows you to use SponsorBlock.

Mpv has plugins that include sponsorblock, but freetube and others aren’t bad as well.
Freetube also runs on MacOS!

On mobile I use Seal. It’s yt-dlp packaged into an Android app
