GreatGreen posted:Oh I can't? So literally all you give me to manage all the liking and subscribing you demand I do is one single gigantic vertical list of every one of my subscribed channels, which I can only alphabetically arrange, without even so much as a description of each channel visible at a glance to see which ones are which? Just one single gigantic unorganizable, unfilterable line of bullshit I have no hopes of ever actually making use of? So if I'm a person who happens to pay attention to more than one thing, I guess I'm just SOL huh. The TV UI makes you tap past every one of the items on this list to find one near the bottom btw lol

They force every single content creator on the platform to scream "like and subscribe and ding that notification bell!!!!!!" during every single video or else the algorithm will hide it from everybody's feed, but then they turn around and provide users with next to zero ways to leverage that liking and subscribing.

RSS rules and survives despite industry trying to kill it because it’s basically impossible for them to track and/or monetize.

I'd laugh more at the people who bought domains from Google since they literally launched the security nightmare .zip domain and shut down Google Domains 2 weeks later.

If I subscribe to a channel, it knows I like them and puts their videos on my home screen. If I watch the new video from a channel, because YT promoted it to me!, the channel will still have a "unwatched" bullet. I have to go into the channel to clear it.

lmao if they think im ever gonna not block ads. The real answer is what they're going to do is insert the ads, real-time into the stream, like twitch does. Twitch ads are nearly impossible to block because of it

youtube has also been experimenting with paywalling 4K and higher-bitrate 1080p playback behind the subscription they've got the almost total monopoly on video hosting and now it's time to squeeze out some profits

also twitch is not doing very well, so they're not facing the stiffest competition in livestreaming either

This is the same reason I've been doing everything I can in firefox, with the impending destruction of adblockers in chromium-based browsers. I wonder if piholes will still be effective when they make this change. 'Oh I don't have adblock, it just looks like there's some kind of DNS error for all your ads. Curious.'

DNS-level adblocking has never been effective on youtube in my experience, i think they serve the ads from the same domain as the actual content

Youtube has never been able to stop youtube-dl, to the extent that they tried legal threats instead of technical ones. There's no way their dumb three strikes thing is anything more than a script on the page that stops the video. Real adblocking with dynamic filters will be able to block their anti-adblock script just like it blocks the ads. IE the type of adblock they're going to stop allowing in Chrome... sometime. They keep pushing back the deadline. Hunter Noventa posted:This is the same reason I've been doing everything I can in firefox, with the impending destruction of adblockers in chromium-based browsers. Piholes don't work on / are really bad at youtube ads already. Ads come from the same servers as the video content, so DNS blocking is ineffective.

pihole (or a hosted equialent like NextDNS) is still nice to have because most sites don't host their own ads, they defer that to a third party ad network which runs the ads from their third party servers which are easy to block only giants like youtube and twitch have the clout to sell their own ads and run them from their own servers

It's going to be an endless feedback loop of ad-serving AI vs ad-blocking AI. We're truly an advanced civilisation, we waste energy doing things and then waste more energy preventing the first thing from happening.
