Clever idea — I can see this being perfect for long podcasts or lectures where the video isn’t needed.
Curious how you’re handling YouTube’s TOS on this though, seems like it could be a tricky part.
I don’t think it’s against the TOS. Some people just want to listen to audio to save bandwidth. It’s not doing anything extreme — just hiding the video. It’s a chill, vibe-y coding project for a harmless site.
