We are getting reports of YouTube rolling out an experiment to some accounts where normal videos only have DRM formats available on the tv (TVHTML5) Innertube client.

This is not limited to yt-dlp. Tests have been run with the same account on various official YouTube TV clients (PS3, web browser, apple tv) and they are also only getting DRM formats for videos.

We live in hell-world.

    I joined it but the main feed was just a lot of NSFW content… So made it kind of awkward for discovery.

      Discovery is a major hurdle. There are plenty of instances that don’t have NSFW you should poke around to find something suitable.
