    One thing I really love about seedy anime websites and YouTube mp3 converters is like. They actually do what they say they’re doing. But they WILL try to trick you into downloading a virus. Like its almost just a greeting at this point. I try to extract a song from a YouTube video and it says free VPN installer tonight perhaps? Free VPN installer tonight queen? And I say YouTube-mp3 converter you sly dog, you know what I’m here for. Show me the goods. And YouTube-mp3 converter says ahhh you got me, no getting one over on you. Thought it was worth a try tho. Here you go king x

    More people need to learn about yt-dlp and ffmpeg. Can’t talk about the seedy anime websites, but youtube-mp3 conversion is so easily done yourself without havaing to visit any virus-pushing sites once you figure out how.

      It’s a hell of a lot more convenient to go to a shady site with an adblocker installed than install/update Python and a couple command line packages before manually performing conversion yourself.

        “A couple command line packages”, well, since both yt-dlp and ffmpeg are command line tools and two technically qualifies as “a couple”, this is technically correct, but making it seem like much more of a big deal than it is at the same time.

        Also, you do not have to install Python for any of this. Never mind having Python installed is a good idea anyway.
