how’s they’re content moderation

go there, you’ll se it immediately… loads of maga terrorist garbage

Good lord, they’re everywhere. Literal morons, everywhere.

Its worse than that, maga are literal terrorists at this point, and supporting a convicted criminal trying to elect him king so he can get away with all those crimes, makes them partially culpable for all his crimes

Just stop using YT altogether

YT spent the last 15 years stomping out all competition, so now that they have accomplished that, they jack up the rates… (or in this case jack up the ads)

classic capitaism

pipepipe is also good, its a fork of newpipe

you have to get the new microG for the newer revanced to work

Odysee

ewwwwww… 99% far right garbage, zero moderation there last time I took a look.

Yes it takes lots of money, people and planning. So does operating a coal mine

I think the problem from the capitalist standpoint is that its not a very profitable business model, well thats fine then the public sector should do it just like we do the roads and other essential services. But no politician in america would even have the balls to propose that.

Id say the bulk of jobs being created in north america wont be in manufacturing the panels, but rather in the installation and upkeep of solar farms and solar panels on houses. If thats the case, then we want the panels themselves to be as low cost as possible to keep the overall cost of projects down.

If politicians had any balls at all (they dont) they’d be proposing publicly funded solar farms outside every major city. But we cant have that because that would be the government directly competing with oil companies, and thats why oil companies have bought one side of our entire political system to keep that from ever happening.

Anti-adblock killer

Wow I didnt know it was unmaintained, I see that now. Well something I did actually worked because Im currently not getting any warnings from youtube

then we’ll just do a sponsorblock type solution which skips over the ad

Plus you should add Anti-adblock killer by Reek, a combination of those 2 makes the entire problem go away… for now. I would also whitelist youtube in other addons like disconnect as those can also trigger youtubes immune response.

not working for me anymore, I have firefox + ublock and updated the filter, they are blocking now after 3 videos

narrator: it wasnt really about the money

…temporarily it might help

! Fck up google! Google is evil!

but… they specifically told me they were not evil

It doubt its as big of a money sink as we are being told… sounds like google PR working overtime there to me

so it being free forever is completely unsustainable.

Well they own a lot of the infrastructure that makes youtube possible, which means they are keeping their own costs a lot lower than people think. I believe a lot of the ‘its unsustainable!!’, or ‘it makes no money!!’ rhetoric we are hearing is come straight from the google PR dept.

I made a user script that will make a button on each video which jump you to piped, that way you can continue to use YT to manage your subscriptions and see your feed, but you never have to watch to video there

excellent I will update the script

Its worth noting that piped.kavin.rocks is getting hammered right now, but it seems to be the most reliable instance going at the moment

almost zero chance of consumer grade windows requiring a subscription

And even if they did, fully hacked local install versions would be created… adobe photoshop is subscription only and I see full installs for it all over the place (and I might even have one myself but Im admitting to nothing)

We would need large companies and developers to start making their applications for linux and right now thats very hard because linux has 2500 different package managers and no one wants to maintain version of their apps for even the top 5 linux packaging methods, so unless that changes they will continue to make windows/mac only apps

it may actually come now if this happens

I might buy a fridge from them if they could make one that lasted more than 10 seconds after the warranty was up.
