Hi, okay, so @YouTube, why the FUCK are all video downloads hidden behind YouTube premium now? What the fuck?

No, I know about premium I had it before. But before I had premium, the downloads were all free and didn't require premium except for music videos and such which required YouTube music. But now they're all gone. Why did you do that? Now even the non music video stuff is gone.

Downloaded videos are up to watch for 48 hours. After that, you'll need to reconnect your device to a mobile or Wi-Fi network to allow the app to check for changes to the video or its availability. More info here: https://yt.be/help/K9Au . Hope this helps!

So wait, as a creator.. regardless of my video distribution settings to either allow or disallow video downloads, premium users can download videos? Am I understanding your FAQ correctly?
-
Yep. That is what it says.

Will this stay forever? I liked when youtube dont need to pay to download vids
-
Yeah, exactly. That's my problem. All the downloads now need premium and it seems like it's here to stay which is just scummy.

Just wait until YouTube decides to be a subscription only service to make more money. Small content creator's will suffer massively if they do that and so far their on the path to doing that imo.

Yeah, but he asked why do you need premium, you can easily save them directly to your phone, so why pay for a more inconvenient way to watch?
