+, I've been untangling from Google for years, still find the odd thing going to Gmail that could screw me over

I've started recently too. Slow and steady. But if this is true, I need to hurry tf up.
It's sad we (in Sweden) practically HAVE to have a google account since we use an app called BankID for everything with banking and identifying ourself with the government. So no google account ≈ no id

You can get the BankID for your bc but only for windows and I don't have a windows pc anymore.

What is the reverse thing?

Reverse chronological just means in order of publish date, but most recent first.

You ever get the "You are disconnected from the internet" screen? It goes away with a refresh so it's not a big deal, but it would be even cooler if it didn't happen.

Only when there's actual issues with YT servers.

I do like Nebula, but I don't see that scaling up in that way. And Spotify is basically YouTube, I don't necessarily want to see them succeed either.

Most creators I watch could be podcasts. I dont get ads anyway so its all the one

Please reply to this dorumon If it's a ban from the whole google echo-system that is fucked up. I sadly still have a lot of important stuff linked to my google account.

Yeah it was a ban from the Google eco system.

Damn, and that's just the ones where swapping the email is possible without access to the original. More and more services seem to send a verification code at login. I guess you're just shit out of luck then.

I better stop watching youtube then.

You didn't get any options to unlock your account early, like pay a penalty or something?

Updating Firefox suddenly fixed this for me. I then later just had my entire google account banned and I had to create a new account. They even attempted to IP ban me as well. Said I was banned until 2036 or something like that.

what is the reason for the ban?

You can just pass the --update flag when invoking yt-dlp. I don't think the package itself needs to be up to date in order to work reliably.

That only works if yt-dlp was installed as a standalone binary or via pip. If it was installed from a distro repository, the self-update mechanism is intentionally disabled because the package manager controls the version. In that case --update does nothing : /
