Goddamnit, I didn’t even think about this when I saw they were doing the mass delete. Here’s to hoping that they’ll at least keep the videos up. Waaaay too much stuff on YT to lose it all. Anyone know if archive.org is backing them up?

This looks like it’s just sponsor blocking in the videos. Does this block pre/post ads?

My setup is similar. My main “desktop” is a Slackware VM through VNC/guacamole.
