Tech illiterate warning. I was downloading music with yt-dlp and got an error saying>Please sign in. This helps protect our community.I googled it and is it true yt-dlp is basically torrenting? I had no fucking idea that's how it worked, I've been doing it logged into my main google account on my raw IP without a VPN condom, I've been using it for a couple years and this is my first time seeing this. Should I expect consequences from daddy google? Or is it not a big deal, everyone gets this at some point and you just wait a week for the heat to die down? I have no intention of screwing around with cookie passing.
>>110297929>is it true yt-dlp is basically torrenting?In a technical sense? No, it's http not torrent.In social sense? EhIn a legal sense? No.
>>110297929nah ur good.
>>110297929Update your yt-dlp. Some distros like debian do not update frequently so you'll have to download the binary from github and put it in whatever bin folder you need. No one really cares if you dl stuff off youtube
>>110298194just use backports for yt-dlp on debian
>>110297929You're absolutely fine, Google just ratelimit/tempban IPs that don't pass their humiliation rituals (which yt-dlp constantly tries and usually succeeds at getting around). You get this error when the tempban has kicked in. If you don't pass in your cookie there will 99.999999% chance be no consequences at all for your Jewgle account
>>110297929>I googled it and is it true yt-dlp is basically torrenting?No. You download straight from google cloud servers. That's just the basic warning you get from literally every major social media when they suspect you're a bot.
>>110297929If you don't remember fucking yourself, a doctor would be able to run some tests to tell. Signs include anal fissures or perhaps even a prolapsed anus. Please keep us updated!
