    This is news from a month ago, but apparently YouTube is currently experimenting with adding DRM to all videos, but only if you're using certain clients and your user is in the respective A/B test group.

    Normal browsers are not affected, but yt-dlp for example is. (Again, only for _some_ users.)

    Hacker News has some additional explanations:

    In short: No reason to panic, but some concern is appropriate.

    I just filed an improvement issue

    github.com/yt-dlp/yt-dlp/issue

    with the goal to make yt-dlp #ytdlp #yt_dlp #Mastodon media aware including metadata like author, handle, text.
