If all else fails, use a screen capture software and learn to crop and edit the result.

If you learn how to do that, then you are able to download from ANY online source.

On invidious, there is a selection menu on the left for various download options. This, of course, won't work for songs that are under "Topic".

If you lived in the North Korea in 1980 then you could have escaped to the USA.

Now if you lived in North Korea then where could you go to have freedom?

China is way more free than anyone is willing to admit, especially if you are Han. And what is the Chinese name for Korea? Why yes, it is known as Han Country. America, the Beautiful Country, is little more than a spectacle.
