Is there an audio-only version of this?

There's an extension for Chrome, Android and Firefox browsers called Audio Only YouTube. It does what it says on the tin: downloads only the audio component of a YT item.

Well sure, but I was going to try to listen to it while exercising and its a bit cumbersome to do that on YouTube.

A couple of years ago, for one brief afternoon something went wrong at youtube and it let me listen to a video with my phone screen locked. I've since learned that being able to do so is 'premium' feature you have to pay a subscription for and quite frankly youtube can gently caress right off.

The feature is always on but gated, you can reproduce the effect on some phones with a bit of practice.

On my android I just jump between a few tabs, quickly refresh the one I want, then time hitting the power button. The tab will keep playing in the background until I reopen the browser. It's far too irritating to ever do this for any reason other than showing someone, though.

"Let's make our apps deliberately bad on purpose so people pay for old features" is a horrible design trend and I hate it

It's a website, there's nothing stopping you from using it in a web browser and you can install adblock on firefox on android. And if I lock my phone while watching media through firefox it gives me the option on the lock screen to play the media through speakers. You can't watch it but you can listen fine.

If you’re on an iPhone, there’s an app called Vinegar which is very useful for watching YouTube (through Safari, not the YouTube app, delete that poo poo if you have it installed).

It’s about £2, but it removes ads, and forces YouTube to load through the system-wide video player, so you can also do picture-in-picture and background audio listening.

Got killed a while ago and ReVanced is only slowly catching up, it's still at the "you must download the source code from github and compile it yourself" stage

I use the adblock browser and access the site through it. The ads where loving unbearable in the app and I bet it's only gotten worse in the year since.

Sometimes the full screen option is buggy in the browser though.

If you've got a VPN you can set it to India or Argentina and just sign up for Premium at the local price, even with a UK card and billing address. I think it costs me about £3.50 a month. You only need to use the VPN at sign up, never again afterwards. Not as good as free but a million times easier and more convenient.

Can someone who knows about economics explain how in general there is a shortage of labour, but at the same time employee bargaining power over pay is non existent. Shouldn't one affect the other directly?

I get that unions have been weakened, but surely if you can't attract staff then the first thing you do is look at increasing pay?

Government policy. Neoliberalism works to ensure lower end wages stay slow and workers have no recourse because the party that's meant to be on our side has adopted neoliberalism wholesale and refused to do anything meaningful to overturn Thatcher's draconian anti-union laws.

It's bleak

Yeah, you would think Deputy Prime Minister, ceremonial though it is, might include some responsibilities around being general spokesperson for the government and somewhat aware of cabinet colleagues’ briefs.

Especially since the official spokesperson has been kicked out of attending cabinet meetings. I suppose though they're all going to deny all knowledge of anything going on in there now.
