I'm using windows xp, is that bad?
It's bad enough that I can't tell if you're trolling me or not.

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.
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.

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.
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

and i might just stop using youtube. does youtube think there aren't other options?
What options?
Where can I find stuff about fixing my motorcycle? Oceanliners? Deep Space documentaries? Fixing dieselinjectors in my car etc? -
I read somewhere that nebula was paying a good bit more per view, and paid per minute watched
Pretty sure you still have to be invited to join nebula.

Nebula's getting better and I spend more time there now than on YouTube. Happy that YouTube is working hard to encourage this transition.

I was paying for a whole family (premium). But I will not pay and send money to a fascist state. We've cancelled all our us based services.

Only thing I'm getring at the moment is waiting up to like 30s until the video starts, I'il take that over an ad that long any day.

As for documentaries... Are good ones actually on YouTube?

I'll never go there. Paid is a no way situation.

Same. That ole "You seem to be using a proxy service" text served as a nice break

How they ban you? They aren't like reddit Nazis
Must have been temporary. Pipepipe displayed a message saying ~"youtube has blocked this ip", but it's working now.

I never paid and have been using NewPipe for the past 6+ years.

Unless we have some serious alternatives, that won't happen anytime soon
Video hosting is really expensive. Every service running for free will eventually enshitify and turn out similar, because there's no such thing as free massive servers
Peertube has already delivered the sustainable model: creators host their own videos and viewers assist distribution.

hell of a lot less censorship, and better video quality there as well.
