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.

Yes.

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.

I don’t think it would be illegal unless it’s a Chromebook they lended to you directly to work at the company. If you went to a store and bought it your self it’s perfectly legal to throw ubuntu on that Chromebook.

Here’s where things start to get harder though…

Whether they will fire you… eh idk if I would take that risk. But if anything just ask the people working there for their opinion on it.

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.

They do have a good overall ui, but the trust in them is less then it was before. Even if they did stop doing partnerships with Microsoft they also stopped keeping their users out of the filter bubble, meaning they filter search resualts out, while before they use to claim they didn’t do that.
