YouTube was lagging to play vids the other day now i wonder if it was A B testing. screw off YouTube. 10 ads for a 20 minute video isn’t normal and never will be. also the ads pause if you aren’t watching them. wtf? as always I expect uBlock Origin to get around this
we live in a neoliberal gorgon dystopia
they also slow down videos if I use Firefox.
YouTube can eat my ass.
If it takes too long to load I just use yt-dlp to download the video or whole playlist and watch it later. Do I care that it’s putting additional strain on YouTube’s servers? Indeed, I’m devastated and overtaken with guilt 😂 These are tears of regret, I swear 😂
They’ve already tried this.
We’ve already sidestepped it.
It’s just going to keep on going like this till a viable alternative shows up.
“Might”? They’re already doing it.
YouTube in Firefox with Ublock Origin is getting throttled down to 1500kbps. I can’t watch anything above 720p on my desktop anymore (with gigabit internet).
YouTube ReVanced on mobile and SmartTube Next on the TV still thankfully work without issues.
This does not happen on my Firefox. 4k no problemo with 3rd world country internet.
I was watching 4k yesterday. 🤞 Ublock has it sorted by the time they find me.
The banned my ip. Been looking at alternatives
How desperate can you be to put yourself out of business?
We need to find ways to pressurize the content creators to upload to alternative platforms like Odysee, Rumble, Nebula, Peertube, Misskey etc…
Nebula is an invite basis
Youtube acting like it has anything to offer aside slop and people who think they’re philosopher kings because they play video games.
Sounds like projection but hey, you do you, it’s not as if we can learn from video games right
Youtube acting like it has anything to offer
This is weapons-grade copium, there is no other platform with even 1% of the content on YouTube.
YouTube can die in a fire and take its fucking premium with it.
makertube.net, youtube is mask off at this point
YouTube might just go fuck itself!
Can’t slow down videos I’ve downloaded to my Plex server. 👍🏽
No, but Plex can. I’d migrate to Jellyfin if you can as Plex is paywalling more of their services.
Never used Plex, but as a proprietary software aren’t they just requesting money for functionality and usage of servers/traffic? Isn’t it just normal business practice?
If you are a content creator please consider upload your content on other video platforms too.
The trouble with that is that there is barely any money outside of YouTube.
They can upload to multiple platforms at once and still keep their YouTube money + grow an audience on a different website??
Yeah, some of the Linux Youtubers do that. With a channel on Peertube as well. And Science Youtubers often advertise Nebula.
I read somewhere that nebula was paying a good bit more per view, and paid per minute watched
Bro those Mf should’ve started doing that YEARS ago like…
Idk how one gets content on Nebula, but I wish more creators would join. Ik nebula isn’t Fediverse like PeerTube, but I still really like it and think it’s worth the $30/year to not get ads.
Then support them monetarilly
Being a majority artist owned co-op is in the fedi spirit. I know Rebecca Watson is crushing it on Mastodon, are there any other nebula/fedi crossover creators you’d recommend?
