Fully agree despite me not doing that. But for that to be more viable we would need more and faster nodes.

I've not used Freetube in a long time. But what I can say is to check if you have the latest version. In the latest available release of yt-dlp
on Debian there is a bug where for some videos the Youtube servers would respond 403 Forbidden. It is fixed if you enable backports and install the newer release there. Might be related, might not. Depends if Freetube implements part of yt-dlp
Honestly its a simple and straightforward solution. What's wrong with it?
Every privacy conscious person has its own threat model and the solutions they find most comfortable for them. This is a very important question.
Most people don't care
Way too many massively good artists I follow are still on Twitter with no intention of leaving. Some are on Pixiv or DeviantArt, but most not.
Extreme bummer. I am actually dreaming of getting a Fold. Maybe as custom ROMs develop, I am sure it's just they have not yet understood how to properly implement it.
I think so. Unless they eventually want to end up in a legal battle.
I am very sure that any company that doesn't want to risk legal battles would respect your choice. If the usage of your voice is behind a contract, you can definitely ask what it will be about and what will be said with the freedom to refuse it.
Its the same situation of using without AI another company's brand to sponsor something else.
That could already happen with AI technology from months ago. This is not news.
The targeted ads will be that if you follow specific broadcasts, you will get an higher chance to get an ad voiced by a person in that podcast. AI has little to do here, could have always been done.
Unfortunately its use in the US politics its inevitable, with what I am understanding since i've started to follow it.
The part that the news line wants to point at probably is where it might be planned to use to create ads using podcaster's voices. I don't see what's the issue there is, now the podcasters can be paid to get their voice imitated for an ad they don't even have to practice the lines for.
