Yt-dlp: External JavaScript runtime now required for full YouTube support

In ten years time YouTube will be entirely inaccessible from the browser as the iPad kids generation are used to doomscrolling the tablet app and Google feels confident enough to cut off the aging demographic.

I guess at that point we could do it the old fashioned way by pointing a camera at the screen. Or, I guess, a more professional approach based on external recording.

Camera manufacturers can easily refuse to record a stream of they detect it is protected, may be via watermarks or other sidechannel.
