How about blocking this nonsense on Xbox? Need a pi hole yes?

They do get they're not dealing with a generation used to ad breaks any more, right?
schrieb am 14. Juni 2025, 23:53 zuletzt editiert von chaoticentropy@feddit.ukThat's why they have to spend so much time trying to force you to watch all the get rich quick schemes, gambling, and expiring legal claims videos. What quality ad pushers they work with.

By operating youtube at a loss for many years Google acted anticompetitively to kill competition or stop competition arising. Now that they've achieved that they can do what they like. Don't feel bad using ad blockers against this anti-capitalist company.

Final stage of enshittification, now they are allowing more right wing propaganda than normal on the channel

They’re blocking it actively now. For me, it requires a tampermonkey script to bypass the blocker check in Firefox.

I will continue to download all my videos to avoid ads. When they break the tools in such a way that this is no longer possible, I will stop watching videos from YouTube and seek entertainment elsewhere.

schrieb am 15. Juni 2025, 01:25 zuletzt editiert von chaoticentropy@feddit.ukSure, a service that manages an infinitely smaller amount of content and complexity. It is a situational tool, hardly a YouTube killer... the banner presented on the homepage professes that it's expensive to run and please donate.

When ads get in the way I simply don't watch the videos. It's not like anybody ever really needs to watch any particular video.
schrieb am 15. Juni 2025, 01:49 zuletzt editiert vonEducational content is hard to come by outside of YouTube, so it would suck to have to avoid watching those videos because of ads.
But I'll do what I have to do in order to avoid ads for as long as possible. And I'll archive important content in the meantime.

schrieb am 15. Juni 2025, 02:05 zuletzt editiert vonOK, so a bittorrent tracker site with a video player built in with comments underneath and you can get perks from content creators for seeding. Then of course some kind of voting system and etc. Then a creator can just get a seed box to start hosting their own videos.

Stop using it. I did and now I only use unofficial ways of watching the videos I want. And I download the ones I wanna watch again.

I believe you're thinking of premium lite, or whatever they call it.
schrieb am 15. Juni 2025, 02:43 zuletzt editiert vonCorrect. If they ever roll out ads on premium, I’m not sure what we’ll do. Maybe figure out a new platform or a new way to watch.
