They don't get real-time data from you anymore.

these days i just use rss to subscribe to channels, and yt-dlp to download new videos
to get a channels rss feed, paste this script on the channel page after a full refresh, i.e. ctrl + shift + r

var a=document.getElementsByTagName('script')
for(i=0;i<a.length;i++)
    if(a[i].textContent.indexOf('externalId') != -1){
        console.log('https://www.youtube.com/feeds/videos.xml?channel_id='+
                     a[i].textContent.match(/\"externalId\"\s*\:\s*\"(.*?)\"/)[1]);
        break;
    }

a feedreader like newsboat will let you script what to do with new urls, e.g. automatically download with yt-dlp

47% of statistics are made up

I know you're right, but the problem is that podcasts are the devil to keep financed. The best anyone's managed to do is to do what YouTubers are doing now that AdSense has stopped giving a shit about pretending to care: Getting sponsorships. And unfortunately the best sponsors are the ones that peddle poisonous pills, overpriced food with half the nutritional value of normal food, security services that spy on you and sell your data, and mental health services that tell you to kill yourself. You know, just like YouTube. So, frankly, what's the difference?

things like radiolab are very expensive, but red web, event horizon with jmg, etc. are cheap to keep running

is there a decent podcast tracker out there? I'd join

>>103242858
just use rss feeds

>>103242858
What >>103242890 said. There's a wealth of good RSS readers on the market, from standalone apps that you can run once a day to check for updates to browser addons that ping servers periodically and pop up notifications when something updates. I used to use them to read webcomics and a lot of podcasters still use them because it's the most widely available subscription method.

first off, if there is no straight away "download" button beside the video, over 90% of viewers will fail to download their favorite podcasts, reviews, audiobooks and documentaries. Converting to OPUS additionally will again eliminate 90% from the leftover 10%. Very few are actually capable of achieving it despite our computers being so fast. Truly epic skill issue.
>sauce on 90% drops: trust me bruh

'sup?

>>103243220
i don't get it. just type `$ yt-dlp https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fwi1qgSaxZY` and it downloads the video.
what's the issue? how is this difficult to achieve?

um...
one needs to open the command prompt to access the terminal first before doing that. That alone is enough to trigger pro apple iFags and hardcore gayming Winfags.

anon, you are mistaking a terminal emulator for a terminal.
you don't have to buy a terminal to use yt-dlp, and command prompt is not a terminal.
ifags should like using the command line because the apple command line is good.

>anon, you are mistaking a terminal emulator for a terminal.
yes
>you don't have to buy a terminal to use yt-dlp
yes but having to open a terminal itself haunts an average PC user without any dev experience. They'll complain about it for weeks and even till their death sometimes.
>command prompt is not a terminal
yes
>ifags should like using the command line because the apple command line is good.
no. Tell that to the iFags that shill apple and belittle Linux by pointing out how they don't open any terminal and type any commands. I'm telling you, they're just richly retarded.

>>103244118
>Tell that to the iFags that shill apple ...
i'll tell them that apple ships a polished command line experience, and that because it's made by apple, it is therefore good and they should use it

i doubt they dont count yt-dlp requesting the video as a 'view'

I hope they'll listen and start using it.

I just now realised that zoomers grew up with streaming and never had to download what they wanted to watch or hear. Downloading everything to them isn't normal. Wowsers.

>>103244743
when youtube first came out, I used to download all the videos I liked because I was so used to shit disappearing off the internet

>>103244761
Same but not because of stuff disappearing but because I never wanted to install flash so it was the only way for me to watch the videos.

>>103242111
Just use kast (GUI)/ castelo (CLI)

I'm 20 and I've never had a subscription in my entire life doe. All my music is saved locally, All games I've ever played - I torrented. Who are you talking about?

>>103242550
This is the way, i also like to map different keys for extracting just audio, streaming audio and streaming video, depending on the content.
