"Creators led this revolution"
The same way cows lead a slaughterhouse.
No-one knows chicken like chickens!

Can you download the though?
Nope. "Content unavailable" no matter what I do.
-
Oh, that's cause YouTube is blocking a lot of unsigned requests (from non-logged users). I have my own VPN on a popular VM provider and it's blocked too.
Not really a newpipe fault, and not much to be done unfortunately.
I hope they will atop doing that eventually...

That seems like a good solution for some people, but personally I would like to keep Google Play off my device unless I'm actually forced yo install it.
I don't think it's required actually, you just download the APK, patch it and then install it. I haven't degoogled (yet) but there should be a patch that makes it independent from Google Play Services

It absolutely blew my mind when TechnologyConnections shared the % of users who use the subscription page to get to their videos...
The vast majority of people stick with defaults, no matter how shitty they are.

If only NewPipe worked...
I started using PipePipe, which is a fork of NewPipe that allows for signing into a Google account to authenticate.
I create dummy Google accounts using an old Android phone, as that doesn't require a phone number.

IIRC Revanced uses its own microG fork.
The original YouTube app that it's pafching is obviously still proprietary, but all patches and the patcher are open source.

That sucks.
A thing you can do is change the endnode of your VPN. Some smaller countries are not blocked but your connection will be slower.
For a while a hammered the reconnect button until it worked but at this point I just went with split tunneling.
I think freetube let's you configure proxys. Maybe that could be another way to attack the problem

You already clicked. It doesn't matter anymore.
Watch time is pretty important on YouTube afaik, initial clocks themselves don't count for that much

Why would anyone want to watch AI generated content? What's the point? I get using AI generation as a tool but if there's no human intention behind it, just a pure algorithm, why even bother?
There’s an example right in the article.
Historical events portrayed realistically is one.

The "Unhook" addon (increasingly required for Youtube now, in my opinion) will still completely block this as it blocks all shorts. Fuck shorts anyway. Also as TechnologyConnections pointed out in a recent video, the subscription feed still and always has completely bypasses Youtube's recommended brainrot anyway and allows you to subscribe to and follow the creators and topics you actually care about. Until we have a viable alternative to Youtube (and hopefully stuff like this will drive that to happen sooner rather than later) the other option is to stick to subscriptions as much as possible and only subscribe to creators that don't abuse this or use shorts at all, preferably.

Though they are messing with that too, on mobile there is a "Most Relevant" section on top. Though thankfully they are videos from your subs.
...for now. -
I love heat pumps I love heat pumps I love heat pumps
(I agree! I do love tech connections. Although I'd argue that knowing how heat pumps work can be quite beneficial ^^ at least in my case)
I have no idea what this vibe is, but I would like to subscribe.

Sometimes I'll watch a video and as soon as I realize the voice is AI generated, I stop watching
But why?
Like sure some of the voices are not great but the words being said are the thing I’m interested in and not the person / machine saying the words.
Each to their own and all that, I’m just curious as to why you just stop watching something you were seemingly enjoying.

Which is the second most scary thing AI can do.
The first is realistic portrayal of faked current events.

Because it's a sign to me that the content creator is willing to take shortcuts and be lazy. In which case I take the shortcut to being too lazy to watch their "content".

Every video fails to play, the only solution I've been recommended SK far is to disable my VPN but I don't want to for privacy reasons.
Did you try switching your VPN to a different country? Mine nearly always fails when my VPN points at my home country. But it nearly always works when I connect to another.

Too bad this probably still won't drive people to other platforms.

Being a monopoly does that, yeah.

Hate slop, but I also approve of anything that makes it easier to wrest IPs away from Hollywood. Feeling conflicted and pessimistic.

I like to approach things in life with positive intent, so seeing a video with an AI voice to me would make me assume that perhaps they don’t have a great voice or that they have a stammer so so an Ai voice allows them to still make content they want to.
I find that life is a lot better if you assume the best in people rather than assume the worse. And I can tell you that since I’ve taken this approach I’m a much happier person and it’s extremely rare that I give positive intent to someone with bad intentions so worth it for less stress and worrying about things all the time.
Do you think the same of channels that pay someone else to be the face of the channel or is it just Ai voices you have issue with?
