they also slow down videos if I use Firefox.
YouTube can eat my ass.
Youtube works a lot better for me after switching from Firefox to Librewolf.

Not only that but the bit-rate as of late seems horrendous, 1080 looks more like 720 or lower with artifacts all over the place.
Artificial scarcity so you'll pay their dumb subscription fee

Oh, did you not pay for YouTube Extra Premium Plus for the enhanced bit rate?
Bloody peasant...
And really you're just paying extra for the original 1080 bitrate. What a fucking scam, like I'd pay for that crap.

Don't care, still better than the ads.
I'll sit for 2 minutes in front of a black screen and it'll still be better than 45 seconds of ads.

Yes, some video have a 1080p Premium high nitrate quality option that you need to pay for. It's just the standard quality, but the free 1080p is now shitty.
It's very sad there isn't anything that can even remotely compare to YouTube at this time. All the content is there, can't get it elsewhere. At least with Firefox, ublock and SponsorBlock, it's bearable.

They will never be happy with how much money they squeeze out of it. When people are watching videos that are 99% ads and the content is limited to two alternating pixels they will still find a way to further optimize their profit-taking. Nothing is ever good enough for the hyper-capitalist; product managers are a disease.

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.

??? You realise that the manifest v3 in ff isn't the same as that in chrome? Ublock works on latest firefox. And unless you're using esr. Congrats on the vulns you've cultivated.
I'm using windows xp, is that bad?

It's bad enough that I can't tell if you're trolling me or not.

Did exactly that early days of hulu.

Wait what ?? Damn
Yeah, they curate their service with people they specifically invite. At least for a while, no idea if it’s still this way, every channel owner on Nebula was a part-owner to the service and had a vote in major platform decisions.
I think this rules, personally. It makes me feel great about subscribing knowing that everyone there has a vested interest in the platform as a whole succeeding and producing worthwhile material. On the flip side, there are really good channels on YouTube that I wish were on Nebula, and I think would be a good fit, but there’s not really a process for suggesting them to the platform for invitation.

Eventually they'll start demanding you run their crypto-miners in order to watch a video.

meh, its still not inconvenient enough to pay 10+ dollars a month. The state of adverts online is so egregious that I would probably sooner stop watching Youtube than pay or put up with ads.

Dang, thanks. I read the post, thought it wasn't happening to me, and I just realized that the start of some videos is being throttled. The more ya know

What options?
Where can I find stuff about fixing my motorcycle? Oceanliners? Deep Space documentaries? Fixing dieselinjectors in my car etc?
