As subscribers go up the chances that the streamer will be outed as a sex pest, domestic abuser, or a Nazi starts to approach 1.

Considering most Youtubers have stuff like Patreon & other partnerships outside the platform, the whole "content creators are HuUrRtTiNGg" is complete horseshit

I mostly just play the same handful of funny videos or stream vods or longplays that I've been watching for the past 8 years. Falling asleep to a Doom 64 longplay gives you spooky dreams.

Youtube can suck a fat one before I pay them poo poo or watch their ads. Yes. I would download a car if I could.

Newpipe on phones and Firefox w/ ublock installed, baybee vlc can also play YT streams with a plugin (or maybe it was mediaplayer classic?), this was the method I watched some vids on a dying Thinkpad with XP some years ago

It's probably still an a/b test which means if you get th version of YouTube that doesn't allow adblockers and you continue to watch YouTube content you are actively contributing to making this change permanent

Click uBlock Origin icon Click the "gears" icon to go to settings Scroll to bottom, click "reset to default settings" Go back to top, click "filter lists" Click "purge all caches" Enjoy a few more videos before the pop up returns.

ublock origin https://www.reddit.com/r/uBlockOrigin/comments/173jmog/youtube_antiadblock_and_ads_october_09_2023/ apparently youtube keeps updating its anti-adblock fix every few hours which makes it necessary to do the purge + update again

I use “UYouPlus” for iPhone. No ads, you can lock your phone and still play videos, it’s great. It even cuts out the in-video promotions for Nordvpn and stuff. The biggest downside is I have to refresh it tethered to my MacBook once per week. https://uyouplus.com/

deep dish peat moss posted:I completely missed the boat on Youtube, I remember when it came out in like 2005 or whatever and at the time it was just a video hosting site, like imgur but for videos or whatever - a place you could upload a video and send your friends a link to it. I had a channel starting around 2006-2007 where I would post weird demos and LPs from the 80s and 90s and write a bit about them. I had around 10k subscribers at some point - yeah a scrub number now but back then it felt kind of special. Even got some video responses from people, remember those? My most viewed one was a 10 min sample of Killer Fox - Orgasm of Death, I don't remember the number but it was approaching 100k. It's all gone because a croatian band I uploaded hit me with 3 copyright strikes and I got banned and I was like, fair enough  , most things I uploaded are there in full now anyway.

YouTube premium is probably one of the highest value subscription services available. I got 90 days of Walmart+ from it and continued that service as well. I don't ever need to watch ads, I don't ever have to go to Walmart... life is loving amazing

My YouTube got cut off for ad blocking. and when the two-extension trick I was using after that stopped working, I just started started using Brave and I'm still ad-free again. I'm not giving Google any more money. I will download the videos and watch them from my hard drive if I have to. I will die, AD-FREE, on this hill

I saw an ad on YouTube once because I was using a boomer computer and it was some Nestle image campaign or something. I muted it immediately and looked away. Pretty scary experience overall, so I'm not thrilled about this development

And it never grew beyond that to me. I didn't know that "youtubers" and "channels" and people sitting around 'watching youtube' was a thing until like 4-5 years ago, and I can only name one 'youtuber' today (dan olson). *Harvey Dangerly* ...and I don't even own a TV

I put yt-dlp into a docker container and now whenever I see a video I want to watch I just download it instead. e: I will delete it when done and re-download it to maximize bandwidth costs to Google

deep dish peat moss posted:Also googling "youtube.com [whatever]" is way better and more effective than actually going to youtube.com and searching there, lmao Google will still lend me a hundred video links that a ) aren't a video b) aren't the same subject matter I clicked or searched for c) a 2 second clip on some lovely website or d) some wiki for an action movie I never watched. Going straight to YouTube makes it slightly less unlikely to find the wrong thing.
