yt-dlp was created in October 2020, Soulseek in April 2001, torrents in Juli 2001. Your “ol’ reliable” was created 5 years ago, 19 years younger than its competition. Youtube itself was founded in 2005.
I’m not sure you know what “ol’ reliable” means ;)
yt-dlp is a fork of youtube-dl, which was released in 2006.
And still younger than the other 2, invalidating the initial point of the meme all the same.
you people are soulless
‘you people’? A fine starter to any topic.
Whooosh
Riiight. It’s just a shit joke. That would explain why I forgot to laugh.
She is over 18 but is it appropriate
I counted the original youtube-dl as the same for the sake of the meme; but you aren’t wrong.
Why would I want shitty mp3s when I can get crispy flacs just as easily? Fkn lol
That’s great for you but I fucked up my hearing by listening to Linking Park on maximum volume in the cheapest Chinese earbuds a third world teenager’s allowance could buy circa 2006.
… And getting stuff from YouTube takes 3% less effort.
WHAT?!
Maybe enjoy crispy 128 .opus? Yeah flacs are on another level… But 100MB/file just doesn’t justify the negligeable quality increase you won’t even notice anymore in your late 40s !
However, saving TB of disk space does !
What are you downloading that’s 100MB?
Maybe a WAV.
show me anywhere other than youtube that has the demon cleaner cover by tool
point is that it is good for the random one-offs but agreed on how much easier it is to get flac over mp3, seems like most stuff i cant even find mp3
Please don’t turn this community into a meme dumping ground. You can go to r/piracy for that.
Please, I hate discussion coms turning into meme chambers
It’s already bad enough this instance got spammed with a bunch of girl-dick images by some loser.
It’s worse here too because you can actually filter out the memes from r/piracy, Lemmy has no such feature since it still lacks a flair/tag system
There should probably be a piracymemes community to prevent this from the get go
Using this as an opportunity to promote the new Soulseek community: [email protected]
Nah, I’m over that kind of shit. I used to DJ on Second Life and people were playing songs but it was obvious they ripped it from YouTube. Because the songs would either be the music video version, it would have some opening intro or an ending, worst if the video ends with asking for subscribers. Audio quality was always shit.
I know that falls under lazily editing to cut them out, but ripping YouTube videos for audio is just a lazy form of pirating.
Just recently started using it again… but that’s mainly because I found “pinchflat” which gives a great front end for yt-dlp and a bunch of the options. Mainly thought it was a great project that I could use to start archiving channels that I want down the line like all of Demolition Ranch, but I came to realize it’s just a great front end for yt-dlp lol
I only use yt-dlp for the odd video I want in my Jellyfin server.
What I was surprised to learn: Yit can download from a multitude of other pages as well“Yit”? From a search of GitHub I’m not seeing a YouTube downloader that rivals yt-dlp… got a link?
Pretty sure yit is just an autocorrect of yt-dlp
So what is the best for audiophile piracy? I’m asking for a friend who is a total audiophile. Spotify rips? Youtube rips?
Soulseek. Its the way to go honestly
Maybe Plex/Emby/Jellyfin paid shares.
Many people will download everything that exists, and paying a small amount is cheaper than the hardware you’d need to get it all, assuming you invest the difference in a global index like Vanguards VT.

I used to buy 8tb disks for 200$ a pop, and I stopped at 800$, with barely enough to fit a reasonable number of 1080p movies.
What the heck how do vanguard funds relate to this?
I’m just saying its cheaper to pay sometimes than to buy all the hardware, as I found out.
Totally the opposite of my experience. Depends on you needs i guess. Storage in particular is pricey
