They're already trying. Payment processors and big banks are increasingly refusing to do business with porn companies, and even sites that host nsfw artwork with no actual participants.

I'm pretty sure there's nearly zero overlap between Monero users/people who actually use cryptocurrency as payment and "crypto bros" (those who use Bitcoin and shitcoins as investments)

Last I heard it was a completely apolitical YouTube channel merch
PNG is a rather slow algorithm based on the DEFLATE compression from zip/gzip. You could extract to bmp or some other uncompressed format. First, to ensure it is lossless, make sure it supports the video's pix_fmt without needing conversion.
This would not be the default behavior of yt-dlp. Run yt-dlp -vF <video> to view the sort order used. Acodec should come before abr.
It used to be the behavior of the original youtube-dl, however.
Are you saying that political violence that one approves of is not political violence?
Resampling does not lead to any perceptible quality loss, but encoding to aac with libavcodec's encoder (as YouTube does) definitely will. At the very least, it cuts all frequencies above 15 kHz which are potentially audible. Opus does not, and 128k opus is usually considered transparent.
I can't find it but somewhere there's a very detailed explanation from Monty himself about it
Are you using the very latest version? YouTube changed their site again a few days ago and it broke yt-dlps ability to find all thr formats. Update yt-dlp and it should be back to normal. yt-dlp will prefer the opus when it is available by default.
Opus is much better than (YouTube's) m4a. m4a is better than mp3 (which is an obsolete 30 year old format). YouTube doesn't serve mp3 (so creating one means re-encoding), and re-encoding lossy formats always loses quality.
I've never had any issues getting mail delivered to major providers
Those are the wholesale prices to the utility company itself from the grid operators, not the prices to end users from the utility company. End users pay a flat amount per kWh that does not change by demand.
yt-dlp is pretty much the standard program for it https://github.com/yt-dlp/yt-dlp
It is installable as a python module, so it should be easy to sandbox if you need to (though it requires ffmpeg too). Nowadays I almost view it as a standard unix utility though and wouldn't think twice about installing the native package
This is good. Now do the same with alcohol. You can be forced to die in a war at 18 but can't drink and enjoy the full rights of an adult citizen.
