    I mean, when I want to watch TV or Movies, I load it into my torrent program 🏴‍☠️ and let it download in the background. I could do the same with youtube videos.

      I already do this. There are several apps for it but I really like Pinchflat because it has metadata settings for Jellyfin.

      All I have to do is add a video to a playlist and it gets automatically downloaded. I use it for archival but there’s nothing stopping you from making it the only way you consume YouTube content.

      I had a time, when i had frequent internet disconnections, and connection speed was slow in general, so while i had the internet connection, i just downloaded a bunch of videos, to then watch offline. Suprisingly, downloading video even with slow internet is faster than streaming it, despite when streaming it, videos was always buffering. Now i have stable internet and i can just stream videos without the problem, even by using third party app with no ads and without account.

      Wait, you think all YouTube content is available in torrents?

        I mean like the downloading aspect. There are a lot of youtube downloading tools available for practically every OS desktop or mobile (well except iOS)

          You specifically said BitTorrent. Do you know how that works?
