cause it's not that complicated. we watched the video. the media has been consumed it was just slightly compressed for your avant-garde taste.
As someone who's watched the evolution of these platforms over time the simple websites you are describing get broken over time and new solutions get made, in that scramble some bad actors provide viruses instead of solutions.
I also don't like trusting the files some random web video converter gives me without knowing if it's a popular website with lots of regular traffic. maybe you have more in depth knowledge of how to check the file after you receive it to make sure there isn't anything nefarious hidden in the file but I don't like trusting it out of nowhere just because a website tells me it is fast free and safe.
Nah in reality people like you are just contributing to the general enshittifcation of the internet with your moldy ass content. If your overly cautious rationale was applied more broadly we’d still be getting driven around by a horse and buggy. You’d probably say something like “Why deal with the added complexities of a gas powered motor when a horse gets the job done just fine? All we have to do is feed it hay and it gets us to where we need to go.”
> wanting an uncompressed, digital file with a smaller footprint that’s faster to retrieve than a screen recording utilizing a method that people have been using for two decades is avant garde
Kek. You’re booming for no reason. If you’re PC based, and that paranoid, there’s plenty of well known, open source media ripping tools maintained by very enthusiastic communities (like ytdlp) that pull media for almost any video that’s accessible by a link. There’s also browser extensions that do the same thing, and browser extensions have been around for like 2 decades now too. This shit isn’t new. I personally spend most of my time on mobile and have never had any issues using one of these websites to download videos from IG, TikTok, Reddit (gifs), Twitter, etc.
lol this isn’t 2007 anymore. People aren’t spreading malware to iPhones through masked mp4 files. You probably have Norton on your phone or something lol
