I just started to block people who are lying or saying things in bad faith and I think it'll clean up my experience really quickly.

Once I got to college and took real critical thinking classes in philosophy I was shocked at how pathetic the English classes were where we imitated the tools and concepts we would learn and apply in college. I think that people who study English do not learn critical thinking well enough in most cases and are better at teaching composition and the reading of fictional stories.

Yes. In college libraries I remember opening handbooks on critical thinking and they were as you said.

Here is one that is available online for free as an open access PDF and has all of the best and current science on many aspects of rationality from cognitive science to philosophy: https://direct.mit.edu/books/oa-edited-volume/5525/The-Handbook-of-Rationality

You can even tweak how it saves the files, what format it outputs, whether it retains subtitles (if they are included in the video), and you can make it spit out a metadata file to go along with the video file which would be useful to keep track of the content or if you use some kind of video library management software that wants publishing date information, author, etc.

The game is so funny if you know all of the Y2K era stuff that it's a satire of.

And remember to read the help page. You can do batch downloading IIRC with the -a flag pointed at a text file like urls.txt

Put one video per line and it will just chug away grabbing them all for you so you don't have to type the command over and over again.

Creators really need to release torrents of their libraries of content so that we can access it without having to go through platforms. Maybe release them twice a year? Four times a year? Imagine just pulling up a creator's torrent, clicking which videos you want to download to watch, then waiting a few minutes and playing it right off of your computer. I bet that could also work with peertube?

Yep and for some people it's too hard to think about extensions so just having them install Brave is a perfect recommendation (for now anyway).
