.bat for multiple vlc transcodes1/31/2024 ![]() Since then, my taste shifted, and I watch and download channels featuring more sophisticated intellectual content. One of my first subscriptions was to a pineapple-haired, energetic gentleman with an unlimited wardrobe reviewing viral videos in front of a comic book wall.īack then, if you typed just the letter r into YouTube search, his name, ray william johnson would come up as the first result. It was almost a decade ago that my YouTube content consumer role manifested. If you discover a great channel a bit late, you can still go back in time and re-live their videos sequentially. When you download a YouTube channel, every single video the content creator ever made is there, without biases. As a content consumer, if you rely on automatic recommendations, you get stuck in an echo chamber that keeps reflecting what you like and leaves little to no room for exploration. They use machine learning (AI), freaking TensorFlow neural networks to analyze your habits – this is a bit disturbing if you ask me.įor content creators, this is discouraging since they reach smaller and smaller slice of their audience and sometimes have to resort to paid promotion to target their fan base. YouTube and Facebook (and others) employ specialized algorithms to guess what YOU might like, and therefore not every content from your subscriptions or friends reaches you. I’ll tell you about some of these binge-worthy channels later. You wouldn’t cherry-pick just a handful of episodes from serial drama television series, would you? I’ve found that I began to like some content creators so much, that I want to see ALL of their content, in order, without even looking at the title! For me, the best way to do that is to download each YouTube channel I love. If the videos are offline, I guarantee that you and your video player will do a better job at tracking seen videos. So many times YouTube often forgets that I’ve already watched a video. The feature that would let you continue where you left off doesn’t seem to remember long gone sessions. What if I want to watch every video of a channel? It’s unrealistic to expect that I’ll begin every session by infinite scrolling the videos tab for minutes to find where I left it… Even then, how will I know that the next video in the queue is the real next one, and not some “recommended for you” nonsense unless they are all in a playlist?įurthermore, the watched and progress indicators are hit-and-miss at best. Is the space on the video control bar really so scarce that the volume bar needs to hide itself? It’s one of my pet peeves with Google’s new design trends tuck away the functional, often-used buttons and sacrifice them on the altar of minimal material design.There is no guarantee specific channels or videos will exist 5, 10, 20 years from now! Therefore, the data hoarder mentality dictates you should archive what you like. Some content gets deleted from time to time. For example, this video has both Spanish and English subs that are not auto-generated. Yes, that means both languages shown on the screen at the same time, one at the top, one at the bottom – PotPlayer can do this. Language learning aficionados could download and watch videos with dual subtitles.Offline performance means no buffering.You might not want to exhaust mobile data plans while commuting but would benefit from watching a quality channel. Take it to a place with limited or no internet. You see no comments or other distracting elements.Adguard for Android is excellent, though it can’t quite block the YouTube ads. While the browser extension uBlock Origin does a fantastic job at ensuring that I don’t encounter any ads on desktop, ever, the same cannot be said about my mobile experience. First of all, there are no ads whatsoever.This way you have complete control over the experience. It’s possible to overcome every single annoyance the YouTube platform imposes on us, by decoupling downloading from viewing. However, there are countless technical reasons to get your tiny part of it! Annoying tidbits of the platform ![]() Wscript.Surely you can’t download the whole thing.
