    Wikipedia’s Sci-Hub:

    In December 2022, in the journal Information Development, an academic researcher survey found, when confronted by a paywall, they try to find an open-access version, then ask colleagues with other credentials, then use shadow libraries.[2] 57% of respondents have used shadow libraries while 36% of respondents were unaware that shadow libraries exist.[2]

    In other words, whether you use grassroots, collectivized forms of knowledge centralization (aka “shadow libraries”) in your work depends entirely on whether you are aware they are an option. Those who know, use. Most know.

    (That is one of more boring parts of that wikipedia page.)

    I have considered dling via yt to make use of sponsor block as you suggest. Does it work?

    Podcasts are extremely neglected in this general area. Few torrents exist. They are at high risk of disappearing off the internet forever because they cost a lot to keep hosted while producing zero revenue. Archiving is not happening as far as I know.

    Add removal would be great. TIP if you use a VPN you might gets ads targeted to that country. Which in some cases is actually no ads. Hop around and see if you can kind the right one. It’ll be different per distributor.
