Did anyone notice that youtube just started throttling youtube-dl ?
I get speeds under 100kb/s for long videos and descending speeds under 300kb/s for popular channels with short videos even though all downloads start with a speed between 3 and 4 mb/s.
It's unnerving. I have to wait half an hour for a 100 mega audio for a stupid podcast when under normal circumstances it would take less than a minute.
Changing the user agent does nothing. I'm going to test if piping it through tor solves anything.

If this test file covers the full range of functionality then it's not Turing-complete:
https://github.com/rg3/youtube-dl/blob/master/test/test_jsinterp.py
Notice that it has no branching or looping or other control flow besides returning from functions. I don't know if it can even call functions from within other functions, but I'll assume it can.
That means that can make certain strong static guarantees about any individual function. In particular, you can exactly know which functions it calls and that as long as those functions return the function itself also returns, regardless of the input the function receives.
So a function returns iff all the functions it calls return, and a function returns if it doesn't call any other functions. That means you can analyze a function by descending through the functions it calls, and seeing if a function ever calls itself, possibly indirectly. If a function calls itself, it and the top-level function never return. If none of the functions call themselves you'll eventually finish looking through the tree of function calls, assuming a finite number of functions.
That analysis solves the halting problem, which means the subset of javascript can't be Turing-gcomplete.

On the the one hand, it's unreasonable to expect people to shekkel out hundreds of dollars each month to serve their 1080p videos to potentially dozens of thousends of anons. On the other hand youtube's monopoly on (or their status as the go-to for) video hosting does raise questions about how we host videos without going (((bankrupt))).

With DRM, a cracked pirate copy is worth more than the original. Also take a look at https://torrentfreak.com/denuvo-removed-from-doom-after-game-gets-cracked-161208/ for an example of a company removing DRM from a product because a cracked copy has already been released online. If this is happening in the gayme world, why isn't it happening in the video industry. New non-DRM'd films can be downloaded from the internet, yet they keep thinking that people will in the long run will put up with their crap.

I rarely download anything from YouTube, but here's what I found. If you list all available formats, pay special attention to the ones at the bottom, which have audio and video streams already combined in one container. For some reason those video formats can be downloaded at full speed. However, they typically only go up to 720p.
Also, I remember downloading a certain TV show episodes off of YouTube a year ago at the default youtube-dl setting, which just takes the best quality audio and video streams separately. The download speeds back then were throttled to approximately 300KB/s for the video stream and 50KB/s for the audio one, too. So this throttling is not a new development by any means.
