I know about DRM from games and how it’s a plague these days but I’ve heard a rumor that it would be implemented in videos, so how will this work if it comes to fruition?

major streaming platform like netflix, amazon disny etc, are using drm. you may experience limited video quality on your device. especially older devices will be capped at 720p
yt-dlp and similar tools will stop working, but there is already a temporary solution. The current drm issue with YouTube is limited to the app on TVs and consoles, web browsing (windows, linux) is unaffected
Has it already been implemented? Glad I archived the videos / channels I wanted.
Will this affect Invidious, or apps like FreeTube?
I’m guessing yes…
I believe freetube uses yt-dlp, so probably eventually yes. Many of these tools do.
