On windows, Firefox + uBlock Origin. On Mac and iOS, Safari + Adguard.
They think they can do whatever they want but companies have been shown wrong time and time again.
Hah. Eat shit and die youtube.
Send email to your fav. Youtubers to start a channel on Odyssey. Hope we get a comparable alternative. Odyssey is pretty good. Load time is less and video quality is great. Just need content creators. Does anyone know if Odyssey pays its content creators?
Odyssey, kick , rumble etc all need apps on motr devices
The Grayjay app supports these sites already (Android only)
Screenshot spoiler
Grayjay is incredible, honestly.
Thanks. Now I know kick and rumble exist. Can you share the link please
Well, the content is more focused on the Right rather than center-left to left-wing.
Good reason to invite some of the Left, too!
I’m not sure it’s a platform that should be promoted. It is incredibly laden with alt right content, even worse than the stuff YouTube frequently attempts to drive me toward. It’s also just another publicly traded company. It’s affiliated with that Truth Social stuff as well.
Because those were set up under the idea of ‘free peach’, not under the idea of ‘this neoliberal demonic brood is sucking us dry’… The others just think that YouTube is leaving money laying around by kicking nazis off. I suggest leaving them alone in their safe space.
Cheers bro
Edit: what the hell?
Sorry, they’re the first results on Google if you search “rumble” and “kick” so I figured you’d have already found them 😅.
It’s just rumble.com and kick.com. Rumble is packed with alt right content though. I always knew it as RT’s favourite platform.

Like a week ago, the company behind Odyssey lost a lawsuit and will be shutting down. As of now, no one knows what happens to Odyssey in the future. Maybe some other company buys it and continues to run it. Maybe it changes into something totally different. Maybe it just shuts down.
Odysee is based on Lbry, so content creators can get crypto that is openly tradeable for regular money. So yes.
content creators can get crypto that is openly tradeable for regular money
So no.
Depending on how you look at it. It’s not perfect, but it is something, and it allows creators profits to scale up with the platform. I’d like if they’d get a choice between that and traditional payouts, though, and recognize Odysee/Lbry is not the final holy grail for hosting video content.
Anything that get even near crypto might make a lot of content creators think twice before moving. I know I would.
Which is really unfortunate because there are some actually useful, neat projects
I believe it, but crypto’s reputation is forever stained by the shitshow that happened, and it won’t change in the near future.
Which shitshow? Imo that’s like saying the internet is forever stained by whatever “shitshow” there was. It’s just a technology, there are good and bad applications
The GPU market being wrecked by motherfuckers that wanted to build crypto farms, the cryptocurrency scams, the NFTs, etc.
And the greatest problem of all with crypto is that it is a solution for a non-existing problem. The web worked fine without it and it proved to be way more stable than crypto ever could.
It’s not a non-existing problem.
For example, I live in Russia, and the only way for me to support creators I like is sending them crypto. All traditional channels were blocked by sanctions; crypto can’t be. Besides, it’s irreplaceable for political activists and many other people who can be cut off funding on a whim.
I’m not a crypto maximalist saying Bitcoin should replace national currencies, but I understand the value and power of crypto. It does have its place in the world.
As for mining, primary reason for GPU market shitstorm (which affected me personally as a non-miner and gamer) was mining Ethereum, which has now changed its validation model and does not need any GPUs anymore.
Cryptocurrency scams and NFT bubbles are real, and I urge people to he aware of them. But it doesn’t mean crypto should die.
Oh sure I’m not a huge fan of the GPU shortages, though very few crypto things need them anymore
a solution for a non-existing problem
Depends entirely on where you live and if you trust your government, but yes the USA and most Europen countries are fine in general. I personally just prefer anything that can be decentralized. That’s why I’m on Lemmy, after all, haha
Tried it. The front page is nothing but conspiracy and crypto bullshit. So no, thanks.
uBlock Origin FTW!
Firefox with ublock / Libretube / Libretube with Sponsorblock / Newpipe / Piped website if not on mobile.
EDIT: I currently use Firefox with uBlock on desktop and Libretube with Sponsorblock (integrated) on android.
Umm no, NewPipe is not a website. That would be invidious/piped.
Meanwhile, Youtube engineers and uBlock Origin volunteers are in a war of attrition, updating both the website (youtube, to block ublock) and uBlock Origin (the ad blocker, to unblock the ublock blocker) multiple times a day every day
Reminds me of the IM wars back in the latter 90s / early 00s. At one point, briefly, AIM and Trillian were pushing updates to negate each other every few hours.
Yep, it’s going to be a constant game of cat-and-mouse from now on. Google isn’t going to relent on this.
Oh, of course not. But uBlock Origin and pihole aren’t going anywhere. Hell, they’d probably have to get legislation to slow it down, but good luck fighting that battle. Hollywood’s war against piracy is a good comparison.
something something offer a better service than the pirates
Exactly. We’ve come a long way from $6/m netflix. I would rather give up youtube than pay them $10/m. I GLADLY paid $1/m to a twitch adblocker the other day. Ill pay, but not fucking $10/m when I can avoid it with some complications for free.
Not even, they’ve already tried to make the case of Anti-adblock bypass violating DMCA and it hasn’t gone anywhere. Unlike piracy where it can and is claimed as a violation of copyright law.
I’m scared that that’s the endgame here. By educating people about ad blockers, they might be purposely tanking their business model so they can cry to the government to ban ad blockers to save them.

I feel like uBlock Origin has been coming out ahead more often than not. I haven’t had to manually refresh my lists for the last few days.
Next logical step is to modify the uploaded video itself to contain ads around the video frame or on automatically detected clear surfaces in the video.
YouTube is like a time killing drug. I’m trying to get rid of it. Any advice?
I will never submit.
Vivaldi’s stock built in ad blocking has still been working for me, have yet to see an ad.
There are no better adblockers, uBlock Origin is all you need and is already updated to bypass it.
Unlock origin is the adblocker that people are installing. There are a lot of people with shitty adblockers out there, I guess they are switching.
I bet all those people with shitty adblockers are also probably googling better ad/YT compatible blockers lmaoo
I just tried it and there’s plenty of results to Reddit references to U block origin on Firefox.
You’re clearly making an assumption here
You missed the joke, completely
I searched “YouTube adblocker” on both google and DDG. The first mention of ublock origin was in the 1st page of Google (just at the bottom, under “recommended adblockers for Firefox”, the 2nd option). There was no mention of it on DDG, even though I clicked “more results” once (so searched the equivalent of 2 pages). The problem with Google search is not google, it’s SEO, that affects all search engines.
To be fair someone that uses DDG most likely already has ublock origin.
Can confirm. I use DuckDuck Go and uBlock.
Thing is, searching with DDG takes time to get used to, as it doesn’t work the same way as Google. Google uses a lot of convenient algorithms that are also a double edged sword.
I use DuckDuck Go and uBlock
uBlock or uBlock Origin?
Yeah you heard them - Firefox.
