can’t wait until computers and compression algorithms advance to the point where YouTube competitors become commercially viable

hell just going back to regular cable is now viable for me, I might see less ads!

#re-attachingTheCord

Me on my home lab Invidious instance: What are “ads”?

Me on my firestick with smarttube: What are “ads”?

Oh, it’s high quality, but like, less. Quality Lite

Please sir, may I have some quality less?

I think its the opposite, the more they tighten the noose the more innovative our solutions are for getting around them. I got so pissed off at seeing half my video watching time go to ads that I found a youtube alternative that goes right on my firestick (smarttube). I wouldnt have bothered doing all that if they had not pushed it too far, which they obviously have.

…or else it gets the hose again???

how’s they’re content moderation

go there, you’ll see it immediately… loads of maga terrorist garbage

Good lord, they’re everywhere. Literal morons, everywhere.

Its worse than that, maga are literal terrorists at this point, and supporting a convicted criminal trying to elect him king so he can get away with all those crimes, makes them partially culpable for all his crimes

Just stop using YT altogether

YT spent the last 15 years stomping out all competition, so now that they have accomplished that, they jack up the rates… (or in this case jack up the ads)

classic capitaism

server side video ad injection means they could vary the placement of the ad, so things like sponsorblock which relies on the segment being in the exact same place all the time would not be very effective

wont

Libretube, also amazing

More and more Im trusting the fact that ublock origin will correct these issues in short order. Youtube must really hate those guys…

Im amazed at how good libretube is getting honestly

hat am I supposed to be seeing here

jebus

pipepipe is also good, its a fork of newpipe

you have to get the new microG for the newer revanced to work

Odysee

ewwwwww… 99% far right garbage, zero moderation there last time I took a look.

most of the content on YouTube, Facebook and Reddit is not generated by the companies themselves

Its their job to block that content before it reaches an audience, but since thats how they make their money, they dont or wont do that. The monetization of evil is the problem, those platforms are the biggest perpetrators.
