youtube-dl -f43 8CHxboMGv1E # is ~120MiB of a single static 640x360 image! How to flood the tubes with endlessly repetitive bits, Jootoob style! These "podcasts masquerading as vlog-casts" are a blight on the Internet for sure, and given that most of these are re-encoded by Google, why the hell is there not a short-circuit for such static images? One single FHD JPEG at say 4MiB, plus a time constant, say "the entire video", and the damn thing is reduced in size by TWO FIRETRUCKING ORDERS OF MAGNITUDE. MOFOS! Also, bloody idiots - why the hell is Google burning so much bandwidth, electricity, etc? Just madness...
