I got into data hoarding a few months ago for... reasons (🏴‍☠️🏴‍☠️🏴‍☠️). Since then, I've been slowly building my collection, I have 16TB in total and only plan to increase this. Today, I downloaded my music with yt-dlp, and was just playing it locally. It felt so much better, so much quicker - Not having to wait for the pages and videos to load, being able to use the UI of my choice, knowing that the media is right here and that no third party can shut down a server, or take down a video, and that be the end of it. I'm honestly really grateful I got into this, it feels amazing to physically OWN my media
