Over the past few years I've been spending a lot of time either listening to YouTube content in the background, or actively watching it. A lot of it was political stuff, but I don't even want to know about that anymore. And I'm losing patience with their little "Biden is your president" propaganda reminders on every political video. ;/
Please post any alternative channels (such as BitChute) you've found, for podcasts, commentary, comedy, documentaries, etc.
I got pretty obsessed with these guys:

Since the original cast left BYU TV, their stuff is behind a paywall at Patreon, or on YouMustObeyTube.

If I can horn in on Perd's thread, I'd like to additionally ask what people find to be the most efficient way to locally save the youtubz videos.
While I too am sick of their background propaganda, I also worry about censorship. I have quite a few videos saved to my favorites, including some really good reference videos on all kinds of how-to stuff. Much of it is from people that are persona non grata these days, and I have already lost some good reference videos in the last couple of years because the user's channel was banned for not being woke. I'd like to archive what I have left before some of that content disappears as well.

I've had luck with a Firefox extension called Video DownloadHelper in the past. I would guess there's always an ongoing battle between such things and YouTube trying to prevent them from working, so I couldn't vouch for its efficacy now.

I've used 4k Video Downloader in the past, but haven't used it lately. It worked well before, but I don't know if YouTube has managed to break it yet.

Followed. I too am curious about saving stuff locally from youtube.

https://youtube-dl.org/ (https://youtube-dl.org/) . Linux and Windows, command line.
I can also use it to extract audio from an online video.

Youtube-dl is frequently updated.
I prefer to get it directly from the website, rather than the Linux distribution's package repository. The repository version is often not up to date. If youtube-dl throws up an error, upgrade with "sudo youtube-dl -U".

I've been using y2mate . com It's cloud based, will save the entire video in different resolutions or just the audio. They also have an online MP3 converter, which I've found handy for burning CDs to use in the truck.
Unfortunately, I don't have anything regarding the OP.

4k Video Downloader works well on my Win 10 notebook
-
The Avast browser (which is basically Chrome with additional security) has a built-in video download utility, which works well.

I bought a piece of software called PlayOn a year or so back.
Turns my computer into a DVR for streaming content. I can record anything I have a streaming subscription to. Youtube, Disney+, Netflix, Amazon, HBOMax, etc.
I have a copy of the Mandalorian episode that has "Jeans Guy" in it. Disney edited that guy out after the mistake was noticed. You watch that episode now, he's gone. But now I have it in perpetuity.

It's not my fault they found my question more interesting. Maybe you should have been holding your microphone, so they could hear you. :P
