Nebula is an invite basis

we live in a neoliberal gorgon dystopia

YouTube was lagging to play vids the other day now i wonder if it was A B testing. screw off YouTube. 10 ads for a 20 minute video isn't normal and never will be. also the ads pause if you aren't watching them. wtf? as always I expect uBlock Origin to get around this

This does not happen on my Firefox. 4k no problemo with 3rd world country internet.

There will be a solution for the adblocking side, there always is

Stop feeding me dog shit AI videos about a condom delivery boy who has to deliver some to a hotel only to find his girlfriend cheating on him and maybe I’ll stop blocking ads you fuck sticks

Really? Guess it hasn’t hit me yet. I use Firefox and haven’t noticed any slowdowns.

How they ban you? They aren't like reddit Nazis

Ai slop and right wing propaganda, copaganda and military propaganda . The MSMs are considered rw propaganda

They do it to groups of people at a time to prevent mass anger and hysteria. Don't worry you'll eventually get throttled too.

I use an old outdated version of FF because the new v3 google bullshit isn't supported for my os version.

it was working fine one day and then a week after the official "cut off" it just slowed down and dropped quality.

it's ok though. I don't mind switching the quality and waiting for videos to buffer.

there's tons on there, just because you haven't found it doesn't mean it doesn't exist.

Oh no! You are going to make your platform work like ass? And you expect us to do mental gymnastics in such a way that instead of blaming you (you know the one that has control over the platform) we blame uBlock? The same uBlock that has made using your platform bearable for many years, to the point that I will sit in silence with the screen off instead of watch with ads?

I think even if you make us wait a min before playing the video most would take that over an ad.

Please share!

I’m happy I am finding some people on Nebula but being a payed service, it’s doomed to eventually show ads.

I now watch Climate Town and City Nerds on Nebula.
I wish Dr Becky would move. I love her videos.

The amount of people in this thread willing to go to bat for a corporate-owned entity is fucking weird.

As it currently stands, my Plex setup costs me nothing because all I do it stream from my server to my Apple TV. So it works well enough for me.

In the ultimate, you'd need to do something like run a headless browser in a virtual machine, have it play out and record the entire video, then use something like AI to splice out the ad segments and distracting elements (a souped-up sponsorblock will work for a while, but eventually ads will be injected into the raw video stream at random intervals), and present the pristine finished content to you. Basically we are going to re-invent TiVo all over again xD.

In worst case, you can't start watching until the pre-roll ad timers expire. This is how adblocking works on Twitch streams currently - you can only see a purple screen even if you block the ads.

And yes, the headless browser will need to use AI for human-like mouse movement and to solve captchas - basically whatever state-of-the-art technologies spammers and scrapers are already currently using.

Google is anticipating this future and is trying to implement and force hardware-based DRM for web video before then.

Ads on youtube are getting even more stupid. Does anyone get those ads about "procastinations" and "ADHD"? It starts off with some songs like "Procastination isnt your fault....." and some dolls dancing? So annoying

where do you get your YT Revanced from?
