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
Someone's using yt-dlp and ffmpeg wrong if they're getting ads.
Also the pirate movie sites that you can't use without adblocker because without it wherever you click it opens a new window.
What I hate about those is when they switch sites but leave the ad ridden husk that gets worse and I need to figure out what southeast Asian domain I need to switch my tabs to.
It's like a normie/noob filter at this point

Really fitting since usually the correct one isnt any of those. It'll be the non-flashy, plain text "download here" link.
KNIGHT: He chose... poorly.
Indy studies the array of download buttons.
ELSA: It would not be made ~~out of gold~~ with Javascript.
Indy picks up another cup, a simple earthenware jug.
INDY: That’s the ~~cup~~ text link ~~of a carpenter~~ of raw HTML.
He and Elsa exchange a look.
INDY: There’s only one way to find out.
Ublock origin makes short work of these lol
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.
From my time at Tumblr and DeviantArt I am really familiar with stuff like ffmpeg, but I don't think it is the type you are referring too.
Now I'm wondering what else ffmpeg could mean... Maybe female-female-male threesome with pegging?
We tell not the muggles of our secret porn.
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.
You can yt-dlg right off the microsoft store on windows which is just a straight up GUI for yt-dlp.
rarely use the cli anymore. the gui works pretty well.
"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.
two doesnt 'qualify' as a couple. two IS couple. a couple is two
