Anyone got any sources with an up-to-date (has the most recent Let's Read episode) drive folder, internet archive playlist, dropbox, or any kind of resource for watching it while we boycott Youtube's crappy attempted AI age verification roll-out?
Also forum mods/admins, please let people post links in this specific thread if that's okay? This is my comfort series and I wanna watch it while still telling Youtube to fuck off obviously. I'm sure others would find this useful as well if they're locked out of Youtube or any other reasons really.

yeah thats fine ill try to vet them if i can. just remember to exercise caution downloading things off drives from internet strangers <3 i would love to see anyone who does have an archive of this.
reach out on discord @cytosol for moderation-related help!
@cytochrome Oh I'm always cautious, not to worry, I visit movie sites a lot with the latest in adblockers and popup blockers. Anime sites, same deal. Thank you for permission. 💜

oops how'd that sendificate there
Same, I have friends that wanna get into HS finally!

What about Downloading FreeTube and watching the series from there?
That or PreserveTube: https://preservetube.com/
Don't ask why Geno hates Jade Harley.
@twistedtimeline you using cobalt I'm guessing? I know one but you should use adblock when ripping em' and you'll need to get the video and audio files separately and then edit them to be synced up at the start. If anyone can make a google drive or dropbox folder for these, that would be so damn cool, I know it's like 74 hours of footage though.

(source - rosewheresheshouldntbe on tumblr)nah i was using the commandline tool, yt-dlp
@lyndis I'll let someone else verify freetube but seems like preservetube is fine with firefox and ublock, however it only has like 5 parts of the Let's Read and skips to act 6 from act 1 😩 lmao I did try archiving more Let's Read parts on there, but got an error probably due to the site's traffic being massive right now.

(source - rosewheresheshouldntbe on tumblr)@twistedtimeline maybe that's similar to the issue Cobalt is having with ripping stuff from Youtube, Youtube changing something site-side or server-side to mess with ripping stuff from it. :/

(source - rosewheresheshouldntbe on tumblr)re: freetube
freetube is an app not a website, has sponsor blocker built in and no ads get to it, its an alt client and you can download images from there
there is also shit like piped, freetube uses a thing called invidious
app as in not mobile, its on windows mac and linux
BAD NEWS & another reason someone should archive these ASAP. Let's Read Homestuck - Act 2 - Part 12 is missing and only able to be watched on the outdated Internet Archive playlist now. IDK who tried to copyright strike it and let's not turn this into some Hussie Gio drama conspiracy shit, but jfc this is bad timing given some people are starting to check out the Let's Read in prep for the pilot or because the pilot trailer pushed them to finally read it. https://archive.org/details/lets-read-homestuck/018.+Let's+Read++Homestuck+-+Act+2+-+Part+12+%5Ba1ujhhVGPH0%5D.webm here's the archive for the earlier episodes I guess :(
I've been meaning to download these forever through yt-dlp, good excuse to now.
