We are getting reports of YouTube rolling out an experiment to some accounts where normal videos only have DRM formats available on the tv (TVHTML5) Innertube client.

This is not limited to yt-dlp. Tests have been run with the same account on various official YouTube TV clients (PS3, web browser, apple tv) and they are also only getting DRM formats for videos.

We live in hell-world.

Screw them! We'll build our own peertube, with blackjack, and hookers

Peertube is f****** amazing, But your average windows user isn't going to be able to manage the hosting. And your average ISP blocks standard hosting ports. Then it also requires the users to manage their own monetization.

It's not undoable but it is kind of a steep slope.

I joined it but the main feed was just a lot of NSFW content.... So made it kind of awkward for discovery.

Discovery is a major hurdle. There are plenty of instances that don't have NSFW you should poke around to find something suitable.

Feel free to recommend some!

With good content? That's a hard find :)

Plenty without NSFW though

I frequent https://v.basspistol.org/ but they're mostly music

do keep in mind you can also use their filters

like these on https://vid.freedif.org/
