Exactly.
Exactly.
See the problem with despite googles intention of protecting their own ads is that now users in theory can’t block all of Googles competing ad networks due to the limited filter rules.
If one server goes down youl have to switch to another but peertube will continue to work. That’s the advantage.
Or use both platforms with Peertube as your main.
Tends to vary server to server, Mastodon has similar issues regarding that.
A good work around is to use Sepia Go which tries to search all instances for content. But of course their could be a few that go by their radar.
On peertube depending on the license the uploader chose you are able to just freely download the video to your device directly from the instance no addons/extentions required on desktop. This option won’t always be available, but is on most uploads. Just be sure that it is actually their content or covered by fair use or you might still face copyright issues.
If its their content he should just be able to reupload the clips.
Interesting. Did any change since then? Regarding it going away.
Also unrelated, your user name reminds of a Youtuber I use to watch.
It might seem too late, but this will be helpful for people stuck in ridiculous contracts to cancel and go internet exclusive. If you’re younger, in your 20s or even 30s, you would probably likely be rid of cable by now.
if you’re much older then that those are the people I think would really benefit from this, the older generations.
Even the scrapping in theory could be restricted. I might be wrong there.
I get that. I’m just spreading what google’s official response was.
I’d love to see a plan where you just pay to rid of the ads, but YouTube is past YouTube, they would rather everyone pay YouTube premium as is.
Just to put this out there for those who probally didn’t read the article. YouTube does this 5 second delay thing, on purpose only if it detects a user using an adblocker if you don’t use the adblocker then Youtube will work as it normally would on that browser.
Whether it’s still a clunky experienceor the browser crashes really Is dependant on that browser and if it’s a good alternative browser.
In other words, ‘fix he delay by disabling the adblocker’, coming from Youtube themselves.
It’s optimal to them. You just don’t understand Youtube’s perspective of it yet. And then it’s unoptimal for them when you watch with the adblocker.
That’s a way to look at, but i’l personally still be using Peertube. instead of 3rd party YouTube apps.
in the short term they work, but YouTube can cut those 3rd party apps access at any time for any reason. Use Peertube for the better long term.
Yeah be like me and just use Peertube, I don’t even notice this stuff untill people complain about it haha.
Kinda but not quite, better hope them search resualts are comparable to Google’s, while if I just change sign up on a new email account, and just change my email on all my accounts then boom. Oh the interface might lack some (tbh) unneeded features. If emails send and you can respond then what are you missing exactly? Nothing too major.
Youtube isn’t an open source website, right? While Chromium is an open source browser. Google doesn’t really make money directly off browsers anyway more so over their services, they can afford to do open source projects like Android and Chrome os.
