    More people need to learn about yt-dlp and ffmpeg. Can’t talk about the seedy anime websites, but youtube-mp3 conversion is so easily done yourself without havaing to visit any virus-pushing sites once you figure out how.

      It’s a hell of a lot more convenient to go to a shady site with an adblocker installed than install/update Python and a couple command line packages before manually performing conversion yourself.

        You can yt-dlg right off the microsoft store on windows which is just a straight up GUI for yt-dlp.

        “A couple command line packages”, well, since both yt-dlp and ffmpeg are command line tools and two technically qualifies as “a couple”, this is technically correct, but making it seem like much more of a big deal than it is at the same time.

        Also, you do not have to install Python for any of this. Never mind having Python installed is a good idea anyway.

          two doesnt ‘qualify’ as a couple. two IS couple. a couple is two

      From my time at Tumblr and DeviantArt I am really familiar with stuff like ffmpeg, but I don’t think it is the type you are referring too.
