Even though it doesn't play the videos, YouTube still displays recommendations and allows me to search for videos that I then download with yt-dlp. Today it has recommended this video from 18 years ago for no apparent reason: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8eHeVQDzEkQ

Maybe because I clicked on some video from nostr:npub1lhjtymyvzee0e6agfvf99sef8jvuh4rapcef7rrmeh5auh8n9kksmud647 so YouTube has decided I like old videos or something.

That's working in BraveNewPipe at the moment.

Nostr needs a video-playing fountain fm! I think there must one on the way...I stand ready to migrate my entire channel here from YouTube. Thanks, Fiatjaf.

https://zap.stream/videos works, but beware of its globalist tendencies.

Th anks! Ive joined that one and made my first video a few days ago. I've been reliably i nfotmed that nostr build could be working on a large video library option, so Im crossing my fingers real tight

Did YouTube asked you for login to prove you are not a bot while using yt-dlp recently?

No.

At least, it was interesting 😅
