Ok small rant about something I hate rn
Why is it so stupidly difficult to just save some audio to make an animation to???
Like I know why, it’s cause YouTube is a greedy piece of shit company who decided the ability to download videos and audio should be a paid subscription service luxury and not a basic bottom of the barrel fundamental quality of life feature of a video sharing site—
Like, I don’t want to go through YouTube to MP3 converter websites blind with the off chance I give my shared family owned too expensive to replace comfortably iPad a system bricking virus just because I wanted to doodle a stupid animation of a vampire hunter being edgy! I value my possessions and my art I don’t have backed up anywhere else but on there actually!!! I just want to make a thing!
I shouldn’t have to go through this process every time the last website I was using that was safe suddenly goes down or doesn’t support YouTube links anymore like it’s fucking annoying and I’m chronically fatigued enough as it is!!!
Anyway, does anyone know a safe YouTube to mp3 converter that won’t kill my iPad? I was using Cobalt, but they’re not compatible with YouTube links anymore at the moment (they say they’re working on it, but tbh I wouldn’t put it past YouTube to just run them into the ground so). Any other way to just get the audio in a decent quality and avoid paying anything (whether that be monetarily or in consequences) would be helpful too.
