Guidelines:
What to Submit
On-Topic: Anything that good slackers would find interesting. That includes more than /g/ memes and slacking off. If you had to reduce it to a sentence, the answer might be: anything that gratifies one's intellectual laziness.
Off-Topic: Most stories about politics, or crime, or sports, unless they're evidence of some interesting new phenomenon. Videos of pratfalls or disasters, or cute animal pictures. If they'd cover it on TV news, it's probably lame.
Help keep this hole healthy by keeping drama and non-drama balanced. If you see too much drama, post something that isn't dramatic. If there isn't enough drama and this hole has become too boring, POST DRAMA!
In Submissions
Please do things to make titles stand out, like using uppercase or exclamation points, or saying how great an article is. It should be explicit in submitting something that you think it's important.
Please don't submit the original source. If the article is behind a paywall, just post the text. If a video is behind a paywall, post a magnet link. Fuck journos.
Please don't ruin the hole with chudposts. It isn't funny and doesn't belong here. THEY WILL BE MOVED TO /H/CHUDRAMA
If the title includes the name of the site, please leave that in, because our users are too stupid to know the difference between a url and a search query.
If you submit a video or pdf, please don't warn us by appending [video] or [pdf] to the title. That would be r-slurred. We're not using text-based browsers. We know what videos and pdfs are.
Make sure the title contains a gratuitous number or number + adjective. Good clickbait titles are like "Top 10 Ways to do X" or "Don't do these 4 things if you want X"
Otherwise editorialize. Please don't use the original title, unless it is gay or r-slurred, or you're shits all fucked up.
If you're going to post old news (at least 1 year old), please flair it so we can mock you for living under a rock, or don't and we'll mock you anyway.
Please don't post on SN to ask or tell us something. Send it to [email protected] instead.
If your post doesn't get enough traction, try to delete and repost it.
Please don't use SN primarily for promotion. It's ok to post your own stuff occasionally, but the primary use of the site should be for curiosity. If you want to astroturf or advertise, post on news.ycombinator.com instead.
Please solicit upvotes, comments, and submissions. Users are stupid and need to reminded to vote and interact. Thanks for the gold, kind stranger, upvotes to the left.
In Comments
Be snarky. Don't be kind. Have fun banter; don't be a dork. Please don't use big words like "fulminate". Please sneed at the rest of the community.
Comments should get more enlightened and centrist, not less, as a topic gets more divisive.
If disagreeing, please reply to the argument and call them names. "1 + 1 is 2, not 3" can be improved to "1 + 1 is 3, not 2, mathfaggot"
Please respond to the weakest plausible strawman of what someone says, not a stronger one that's harder to make fun of. Assume that they are bad faith actors.
Eschew jailbait. Paedophiles will be thrown in a wood chipper, as pertained by sitewide rules.
Please post shallow dismissals, especially of other people's work. All press is good press.
Please use Slacker News for political or ideological battle. It tramples weak ideologies.
Please comment on whether someone read an article. If you don't read the article, you are a cute twink.
Please pick the most provocative thing in an article or post to complain about in the thread. Don't nitpick stupid crap.
Please don't be an unfunny chud. Nobody cares about your opinion of X Unrelated Topic in Y Unrelated Thread. If you're the type of loser that belongs on /h/chudrama, we may exile you.
Sockpuppet accounts are encouraged, but please don't farm dramakarma.
Please use uppercase for emphasis.
Please post deranged conspiracy theories about astroturfing, shilling, bots, brigading, foreign agents and the like. It degrades discussion and is usually mistaken. If you're worried about abuse, email [email protected] and dang will add you to their spam list.
Please don't complain that a submission is inappropriate. If a story is spam or off-topic, report it and our moderators will probably do nothing about it. Feed egregious comments by replying instead of flagging them like a pussy. Remember: If you flag, you're a cute twink.
Please don't complain about tangential annoyances—things like article or website formats, name collisions, or back-button breakage. That's too boring, even for HN users.
Please seethe about how your posts don't get enough upvotes.
Please don't post comments saying that rdrama is turning into ruqqus. It's a nazi dogwhistle, as old as the hills.
Miscellaneous:
We reserve the right to exile you for whatever reason we want, even for no reason at all! We also reserve the right to change the guidelines at any time, so be sure to real them at least once a month. We also reserve the right to ignore enforcement of the guidelines at the discretion of the janitorial staff. Be funny, or at least compelling, and pretty much anything legal is welcome provided it's on-topic, and even then.

The interest rate hikes effected everyone essentially. Could they really even figure out accounts if your are anonymously using a third party app ?

They're probably going to restrict the third party app accessing youtube's data, doesn't make sense to ban specific users.

Google's whole response the past year has been really odd. Revenue growth hasn't been great but they seem to making a lot of moves while before they had basically stagnated for a couple of years.

it has long been speculated that they don’t make any money, the gargantuan assload of bandwidth they use alone has to cost ton of money. no source i can find with a 2 minute google search seems to agree on exactly how much but it seems to be somewhere between 100mil and 500mil a year. and that is just to keep the site functional with the 1bil page views they get daily. god knows what else they pay for. it was only a matter of time before they started forcing people to pay but almost 20 years is a heck of a run![:marseyshrug: :marseyshrug:](/e/marseyshrug.webp)

I'm such an r-slur that this would probably get me to buy premium![:marseysadge: :marseysadge:](/e/marseysadge.webp)
I've had my account for darn near a decade, no way I'm risking all my playlists/favorites/subs that I've built up over years and years![:marseyitsover: :marseyitsover:](/e/marseyitsover.webp)
Or does anyone know of any way to export stuff like playlists, or maybe copy them over to other accounts (not playlists of your own videos)? Is it possible to essentially clone an account? Doubt it but worth asking the rDrama nerds![:marseyteehee: :marseyteehee:](/e/marseyteehee.webp)

It's not actually a bad deal. It's the same price as a Spotify subscription and includes no ads on YouTube vids and YouTube music
I know google allows you export all your data
I don't remember if they include youtube stuff though.

I'm pretty sure yt-dlp can do something similar to what you want. It can retrieve lists of urls of a playlist for example.
Jump in the discussion.
No email address required.
Crap, see this is where you lose me. I could theoretically research all this stuff and get it to work, but it starts defeating the point because my goals basically are:
Keep all of my created playlists
Don't see ads
Spend as little money as possible
The first two are covered, but to download all that stuff I would need a shitload of space, so much that I would be spending hundreds just for storage. Personally, I'd just rather pay the 10 bucks a month instead of a massive investment that also grows over time because I'm still adding to the playlists
and I can't imagine that the UX of this setup is as good or better than, you know, just using a website ![:marseysulk: :marseysulk:](/e/marseysulk.webp)

Let's say a video takes 1GB storage, most are less but high estimation for the sake of argument. A 1TB drive right now costs around $35, which could store at least 1,000 youtube videos if for some reason you wanted to keep them all (opposed to watch and delete). If you needed more space than that, a 2TB disk is only $60 or so etc. You can store really a lot of data these days without spending that much money.

https://github.com/yt-dlp/yt-dlp#release-files
You can download it there, and then it's as simple as going to the command line and typing for example to download a video:
yt-dlp https://youtube.com/watch?v=zr-nJpR22og
to update the program:
yt-dlp -U
to download a whole playlist:
yt-dlp https://youtube.com/watch?v=v7ne9htY3LA&list=PLmAG6pYQA81xfJJlFlurRUB2eL79muhCH
That's mostly all you'll need if you just wanna download and watch, but there are lots of options. You can download specific file formats, or audio only or etc.

I'd just stop using youtube then. Advertising is a cancer on society and doesn't really fit into any political model e.g. if we're in a capitalist meritocracy you shouldn't be manipulating people to buy the inferior product.
