Yes, but the problem is the convenience.

Google has made their services convenient, which is why everyone I like to watch content of posts their stuff on YouTube. Both alternive websites and the content on them is often of inferior quality and difficult to find.

Then use alternative youtube clients, like piped or freetube.

Or even better: spend money (if you can afford it) to host a peertube instance that automatically rips the videos off of youtube.

That's an even stronger message that you'd rather spend money than use their crappy free services.

Oh that’s amazing. I’m gonna see about doing that for channels I actively watch. Gives me an excuse to unfuck my NAS storage too since then it’ll be full faster.

Do you know of any software that does that already (I assume PeerTube itself doesn’t)?

Peertube does indeed have that functionality
