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

YouTube can die in a fire and take its fucking premium with it.

Youtube acting like it has anything to offer aside slop and people who think they're philosopher kings because they play video games.

I read somewhere that nebula was paying a good bit more per view, and paid per minute watched

Never used Plex, but as a proprietary software aren't they just requesting money for functionality and usage of servers/traffic? Isn't it just normal business practice?

where do you get your YT Revanced from?

I would prefer an ad if it doesn’t last a stupid amount of time

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.

That's what they're banking on, but we know that eventually they will f*** it up and lose everyone.

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

If it forces you to pay and have an account, how is it better than YT?
