Day old account with negative karma. Of course they’re a troll. Ignore them, move on with your life.

You must have a piss-poor adblocker.

I’m guessing you loaded the article while connected to a VPN.

Youtube doesn’t let you download the videos directly. If they did, you’d be right. The fact that the original yt-dl was shut down by Youtube kinda disproves your point all by itself.

it downloads them directly from YouTube

Thus, pirating them. More or less by the same method that is used to download every single WEB-DL movie/episode you see on torrent sites.

The front page is a direct reflection of the content you engage with.

It’d be real nice if people would actually use their brains and realize this.

How have you never heard of yt-dlp?

Incognito window =)

Running personalDNSFilter (whole phone, non-root adblocker) blocks ads just fine for me in the official unmodified Youtube app.

Chrome + Ublock Origin Lite also still works, fyi.

Pretty easy to know, in fact. Same way Netflix, Disney, or HBO knows. Same account, accessed simultaneously from two distinct IP addresses. Not really rocket surgery.

Awesome!

reader-funded

Doomed from the start.

Nice try FBI

A nothingburger of an “article” partially locked behind a paywall.

Eh, this game was never in the cards for me anyway. I decided years ago to never give Rockstar another dime when they didn’t release any single player DLC for GTA5. Fuck that noise.

I see you watched that AVGN video also…

Basically all of the major players.

Sure, chief. Whatever you have to tell yourself.

How about a AAAA 20v20 open world multiplayer shooter (nobody is doing that!), SaaS (to keep’em coming back), with ultra realistic graphics (it’ll be epically fun that way), a $100million budget (we’ll outsource to save money), MTX so we can make tons of money (we get profit sharing right?), and we do it in 3 years (for work-life balance)

I 100% believe most of these unrealistic expectations come from the execs. Decisions like these aren’t made by art directors. They come from on high. Art directors and game directors aren’t the ones making the monied decisions.
