   The fact that NASA operates an official youtube account that doesn't also provide direct download links for all videos, and isn't mirrored anywhere non-proprietary should be illegal.

   I shouldn't have to make money for google in order to view NASA content. I shouldn't have to subject myself to youtube DRM in order to watch NASA content. I should be able to download any video NASA produces, since NASA can't own a copyright on them.

     @ajroach42 Agreed, it is unpleasant. Use Brave browser to block YouTube trackers out of the box. And there exist third-party sites wherein you can download YouTube videos. Use Brave on those sites, too - they often have creepy trackers of their own.
