download yt videos and lets reupload everything onto peertube idk
They will still inject ads to your home feed even if you get premium. I noticed the “Introducing” titled video recommendations which are usually 1-2 mins and they essentially place an item in your home feed. When I asked support they confirmed they were targeted ads but you don’t have to click them LMAO. Filthy lying company.
fuck Youtube ads.
I’m only going to click these Articles when my adblocker actually stops working, its basically clickbait until then.
Had some issues a few days ago. Then the brave army of Brave browser helped quickly. The other browsers should be ok now too with addons. I do not see any problem with videos any more. Still, the dependance on Youtube is terrible, most of the vids are there and there is no serious alternative. One day, hopefully, there will be. Maybe we need to pivot and someone should come with something very new, unrestricted, moderated by community, unstoppable and with no ads. When you do not pay or do not use add blockers, watching anything is almost impossible.
There are alternatives, but there’s nothing that pays and promotes like Youtube. The content creators are in it for the cash, or at the very least wouldn’t not be in it if it weren’t for the cash. They can’t even dual post their Youtube stuff because it would be parasitic to their YT income.
So… just the video, no ads, no comments, no text at all? Please block it for me too, YouTube!
Is Noutube still working?
I just discovered it because of your question, downloaded and it works. :)
“Based on these reports, users see a message stating “Comments are turned off,” which appears across a wide range of videos”
Seems like a win to me.
“Comments are turned off”
Damn, they’re really upping their game.
Gonna use this thread to shout out https://github.com/YTLitePlus/YTLitePlus There are more than enough options for android users out there, this one is for iOS though. Tried it out this weekend on my jailbroken iPhone 6. If i read it correctly it should also be installable without a jailbreak but not that easily. Its super cool and nowadays it feels so weird that you got the option to do such shocking things like disabling shorts or reorder the tabs, its really fun.
uBlock Origin on Firefox with default settings and filterlists still works successfully on Youtube.
Raymond Hill is the absolut GOAT
“No way around it” always ends the same After 2 days uBlock just works.
Taking no donations, just maintaining out of pure spite
Love to see it
Spite is a form of currency. lol
I’m still waiting for them to just to implement Wildvine. It has to happen at some point.
yes, that thing :)
Works on my machine fails to account for A/B testing. Everytime someone says something’s not working, they also mean it’s not working on my machine/account.
uBlock origin is the same code on mine or yours machine. It does not need a graphics card, nor uses some particular instuctions of the CPU.
On Firefox Stable on Flathub at the time of writing, with default settings and default lists, it will work as expected on Youtube.Google does not always provide the same Youtube code/challenges to you and me. That’s what A/B testing is about.
Is uBlock Origin working for you specifically, enabling it alone with no other add-on?
Mine isn’t working flawlessly with this exact set up, but it’s just forcing me to refresh the page every time I load a new video. Still no ads.
Are you using other add-ons?
Nope, just uBlock. If I disable uBlock before loading the page everything works fine as well, so I’m pretty sure it’s uBlock.
But I’m on Linux (openSuse Tumbleweed) and have had some interesting “distro specific” bugs in recent months, so I’m chalking it up to “my OS + Firefox” and not “uBlock”
I am also on openSUSE Tumbleweed, but using Flatpak Firefox.
Perhaps you can try disabling hardware acceleration in Firefox to see if it chinges anyting.I’ll give it a shot. I don’t use flatpaks, but I think I’ve already disabled hardware acceleration for a previous issue? I’ll report back once I’ve checked/tried it out.
So seamless that I didn’t even notice
Yep. Still working on mine. I also use windows 10. Dunno if that matters or not.
Wait, is it possible to side load on ios? can I distribute ipas directly?
Pretty sure this does not affect Firefox as my adblocker still does the job
Use a vpn and albanian version of.youtube
I’ve stopped using YouTube for the most part. Cut down a lot once they broke the search function and I could no longer find what I was looking for because every result would be flooded with random shorts and other irrelevant content.
Then, my account, which was made in either 05 or 06, got flagged as belonging to a minor and they asked me to verify my age with an ID. Why this even happened when the account itself is over 18 now, and I’m not in the US (which I thought was the only place their age verification BS was being implemented) is beyond me.
I wish there were more options for long form video sharing, since YouTube seems to be the only viable platform for it at the moment.
YT search is completely broken. It used to be that the first 3-4 videos were relevant and the rest were YT shorts or stuff you previously watched. Now, not even the first result is related to what I search for. I have to use Google in order to get the video I actually want. Even incognito in YT doesn’t help much nowadays.
alot of time its right wing shorts, or thirst traps videos. and this from not logging in.
I got flagged as a minor, despite an old account. They would not accept my card that I pay for premium with as a valid card. It’s valid enough to pay them the stupid fucks.
You can do the selfie thing, except use a 4k video of someone talking to the screen and it’ll probably work. I used an Evan Edinger video, scanned that and passed fairly easily. AI probably works if you can get a high fidelity image but all the free ones are well under 1080p and just don’t really register.
I cant imagine flagging a whole account over 18 years old as attached to a minor.
