Yes, just mount to /mnt/videos
and symlink that as needed.
I guess there are some benefits in mounting directly to $HOME
, though, such as find
/fd
work "as expected", and also permissions will be limited automatically per the $HOME
permissions (but those can be adjusted manually).
For finding files I use plocate
, though, so I wouldn't get that marginal benefit from mounting below $HOME
.
It still maintains their market position, which has value. For example, you might not visit other sites because they don't have the content you want (and the content stays on YT because they have the viewers), or you might even share YT links to other people.
