> So personally I've found what i consider to be a safe alternative.

A bit more effort, but downloading the podcast and listening to it via a basic audio player app that does not further enshitify itself daily is even safer.

Yeah, how many podcasts are Youtube exclusive? I can't imagine there's that many, if any at all.

yt-dlp actually downloads from more sites than just Youtube.

Whether a given podcast is on a site it will download from is a different question.

at some point ima stop being lazy and setup the reverse proxy for my jellyfin server and this will be a smooth "ytaudio {url}" alias that downloads through ytdlp and places it in the proper folder .

For now its a rare enough occurrence where i just keep neglecting it.
