    Alright, 10 bucks for the first developer that makes a YouTube ASCII art plugin for Lynx.

      Have you played with caca in vlc? I wouldn’t know how to get into lynx but it seems it’s most of the way there. % vlc --vout caca video.ogg

        I was kind of joking, but the serious part came from the time I worked at an office with strict browsing rules, so I had to resort to lynx to avoid suspicion. I know an ASCII art video wouldn’t look innocent anyway, but I was just simply thinking if it’s possible at all particularly in lynx.
