<wordswordswords START ARCHIVING EVERYTHING FROM MASSA BEFORE ADS FUCK WITH EVERYTHING NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOWWWWWWWWWWWWWW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!What this means?An ad in-video is technologically indistinguishable from the content you've requested. Meaning if you actively try and download it directly, you VVILL possibly get ads injected into the downloaded video too.
Why should I care?Massa has 3 channels up, and if those videos get compromised with ads then that is a big no-no for active archiving and preservation. Considering this dude is possibly dying as well, it should be of utmost importance to archive every video Massa has made in case shit hits the fan and he ends up delete fucking EVERYTHING.
How do I archive?Your best tools are gonna be yt-dlp and ffmpeg; former is for downloading videos, latter is for file conversions. (Honorary mention goes to archive.today & ghostarchive for general webpage saving)

https://preservetube.com/Massa also has an archive.org page for his deleted shit in case you want to download stuff from there locally (and you should because Internet Archive is pozzed and VVILL delete shit if somebody requests it):
