alternatives to y2mate.

Looking for software

Hello, yesterday, the services for y2mate were discontinued. I was wandering if there are any alternatives that have pretty much the same features

If your trying to download from YouTube and other video hosts you want youtube-dl there's a lot of gui around for it https://github.com/MrS0m30n3/youtube-dl-gui

You can't use this to download age restricted videos.

RIP y2mate, served me well. sadly, i have been looking for an alternative too. But sofar the next best thing would be to learn how to use youtube-dl.... although its not as comfortable as just putting pp in the url :(((

I'm sad its gone too, i was about to use it for the second time today until I got that msg and I couldnt believe it.

u/JoshsPizzaria avatar

yeah :(

Im glad im not the only one. No more downloading.for me. No more memes i found on youtube for my discord server. No more micheal rosen YTPs for my youtube channel. Oh god im screwed

I mean there are many other websites that do the same but for me y2mate was by far the best and simplest to use

All you need to do is turn on a vpn & set it to Brazil or Germany & voila you’re in. That message goes away & it’s back to normal, if your vpn is set to one of the allowed countries. Ffs everyone’s acting like it’s dead. It isn’t. It’s just geoblocked. And I’m a girl. A super tech-clueless girl. But I just googled this sht & got my answer & workaround in a second.

Yeah...its not dead..I just read most of the comments...did the same thing using Nord VPN switched from USA server to Denmark Server and BOOM!...the https://y2mate.com is alive.

u/Nickis1021 avatar

Totally. Gotta love the vpns ;-)

https://yt5s.com/en10 After you press download, go back to exit the scammy website and enjoy your video

THANK YOU!!!! This worked just like y2mate always did: be smart about managing popups & redirects, and it'll do what you want no problem. I was bummed to see y2 down, but once again reddit comes through with multiple working alternatives. Woo-hoo! This one felt the most familiar & easy, but location spoofing &/or VPN are perfectly valid as well.

However, a warning to other readers in general: If you're not adept at deflecting common malicious web tactics, this isn't a good idea for you. If you're careless with your clicks &/or system security; terms like "redirect" aren't familiar to you already; when you see the site, it seems complicated, confusing to use; STAY AWAY. If you're ignorant, unprepared, and just want the easy free offer of online laziness, then you're an E-FOOL, and not ready to use this tool. The E-FOOLs that proceed anyway are exactly the sort of suckers that scammers love, and deserve the many problems they will surely bring upon themselves.

You can use y2mate by change the VPN to other countries, not US, UK, AU.

Or you can use ytmp3 .cc/ or FDM.

I mean there's others with the name like "Y2mate.is" and "y2mate.guru"

I have a virus from Y2Mate and I can't get rid of the pop up redirects. Does anyone know how to get this off?
