professional crime documentary people (not some kid with Youtube Voice)got demonetized for talking about crime and had to edit every time they said 'blood' to say 'red' instead lol

i love how regressives and other dumb freeze peaches people scream about censorship, yet here we are with users choosing to self censor with weird code speak like that "red" or unlive.

it gives me a page that contains only the videos of channels that i subscribe to, without any algorithm curation bullshit

radiolab had a episode about climate change and weather forecasting, and supposedly walmart uses micro weather forecasts for pushing out meat coupons/deals. supposedly xclear skys are steak cooking weather and burgers are cloudy or overcast.

i dunno marketing and ads seems like bs tealeaf reading imo and there still seems to be a rather bad accuracy.

Just installed opera, turned on the default ad blocker went to youtube without signing in and no ad's or messages, or pauses before a video starts. Playlists works as well.

Have firefox open and can check if any of the channels I'm subscribe to add anything new. Copy and paste title into opera. Bit of extra effort, but only a couple of seconds to C+P and alt tab. :shrug:

opera is owned by a chinese mega corp. at least be patriot and only let native companies data mine you.


also opera's weird gamer branding is dumb and cringe

does not being logged into your google panopitcon account have an affect?

I have still never seen the 3 strikes warning and im pretty sure I have the same youtube usage as the avg goon. (does having a youtube tab going on with something almost constantly count?)

They're from like Worcester so I was trying to be marginally nice, out of pity.

I do the first two, and I know not being logged in seals the deal, but logging out of YT logs me out of Gmail and Google Voice, which is not so good. Incognito messes up my whole organizational system with 5000 open tabs.

do you really need to be logged into gmail 1440 mins, 7 days a week? (also same with any other account tbh)

also have you thought that the reason ff has memory RAM issues is you have 5000 tabs open? some of them might even be months or even year(s) old?

going from NPR's WWDTM, the latest SEO meta is literally naming your place "near me" or "in [insert town/city here]" and it might actually work?

seems like stupid easy SEO strats work again.

Apparently YouTube adds a 5 second delay to the loading time if you're running Firefox. Because that's a perfectly normal, none evil thing to do.

certainlly makes searching through OST and other music playlists annoying but its not gamebreaking.

^that

also libaries might also have their own streaming service, granted its way smaller than any other paid service, but you get "free" access for just being a library card holder.

also rip dvds/blue rays and make your own local archive.

libraries also have their own gift shops that sell media at firesale prices, like imagine buying a whole boxset for less than 5 bucks.
