I'm pretty sure there's nearly zero overlap between Monero users/people who actually use cryptocurrency as payment and "crypto bros" (those who use Bitcoin and shitcoins as investments)

Last I heard it was a completely apolitical YouTube channel merch
PNG is a rather slow algorithm based on the DEFLATE compression from zip/gzip. You could extract to bmp or some other uncompressed format. First, to ensure it is lossless, make sure it supports the video's pix_fmt without needing conversion.
This would not be the default behavior of yt-dlp. Run yt-dlp -vF <video>
to view the sort order used. Acodec should come before abr.
It used to be the behavior of the original youtube-dl, however.
Are you saying that political violence that one approves of is not political violence?
Resampling does not lead to any perceptible quality loss, but encoding to aac with libavcodec's encoder (as YouTube does) definitely will. At the very least, it cuts all frequencies above 15 kHz which are potentially audible. Opus does not, and 128k opus is usually considered transparent.
I can't find it but somewhere there's a very detailed explanation from Monty himself about it
Are you using the very latest version? YouTube changed their site again a few days ago and it broke yt-dlps ability to find all thr formats. Update yt-dlp and it should be back to normal. yt-dlp will prefer the opus when it is available by default.
Opus is much better than (YouTube's) m4a. m4a is better than mp3 (which is an obsolete 30 year old format). YouTube doesn't serve mp3 (so creating one means re-encoding), and re-encoding lossy formats always loses quality.

Those are the wholesale prices to the utility company itself from the grid operators, not the prices to end users from the utility company. End users pay a flat amount per kWh that does not change by demand.
This is why ublock origin is an essential security tool.
I'm highly skeptical of anti-GMO claims. Usually they come from the same family of pseudoscience as anti-nuclear and anti-vaccine
They're already trying. Payment processors and big banks are increasingly refusing to do business with porn companies, and even sites that host nsfw artwork with no actual participants.
