> It gives me the moral and logical high ground when arguing with nerds about YouTube online
The thing with paying for YouTube is that you’re giving Google money for them to get more data on you. Logically that seems like a bad deal. I get that you probably don’t mind it, but other people rightfully do.
> Can download video on most (all?) devices
Is that download as in “they are available offline in the app” or as in “you get an MP4 that you can watch in your preferred player”?
It is "they are available offline in the app". They do not give you an MP4 export.
What and people pay for that? Why not just download with yt-dlp
Why would I bother?
> Why not just download with yt-dlp
This gives me vibes of that famous HN comment about Dropbox.
