1984

Great write-up, but painful to read seeing how he and other developers have been treated, mislead, and discarded like trash.

The new description is also good

I use downloadhelper too and it works on most but I will give this one a try on those it did not. Thank you again!

I meant more like news sites with all their proprietary players so not really high seas, just difficult to obtain usually.

Thanks! I will have to test it on some obscure local websites on which most of the downloaders not work.

Welp, I also just deleted my 9 year old account. Extracted what I could, checked some communities for the last time, deleted what I could using Power Delete Suite and Redact, and pulled the trigger. I have learned a lot there, found some interesting niche communities, and had interesting conversations, launched a lot, but also got angry at times at the stupidity of people. Bittersweet moment, but I can’t continue supporting Reddit in any way. Fediverse, here I come!

Until it will be easier for them to whitelist instead of blacklist and your own selfhosted server will be blocked.
