Maybe this will help me waste less time on YouTube.
Try Invidious.
is there some list of all the options? I would be cool with having multiple apps if they don’t break them all at the same time
Yeah I use Wipr and they hit me too.
Bummer. Still working in Canada, if you want to move here…
Look man. Of all the reasons for me to move to Canada, better youtube playback is pretty low on my list.
If anything, I would move there because of daily gun violence, an insane society here among the general public, authoritarian laws being passed in the name of freedom, life crippling medical costs, an insane political environment, police brutality, California can best be described as “on fire” most years, and corporate ownership pf our citizens among other reasons.
But…certainly not for youtube playback.
What I’m trying to say is…
PLEASE LET ME INTO CANADA!!! YOUR COUNTRY SOUNDS AMAZING, ASIDE FROM THE GEESE!!!
Honestly I think it’s less that the geese go south for the winter, as it is they go north for the summer
Canada geese are ok if you know not to mess with them and stay far away from their babies.
Not Waterloo ones. They literally pick a fight with you if you were already chilling at a picnic table for half hour
I think we’re only accepting goose enthusiast youtube refugees right now but, what the hell, you seem like a good egg - I’ll check with the king!
Canada is looking pretty good right about now.

Might want to think twice. The liberal party (current party in power) is falling apart, and the populist conservatives are looking like they’ll win the next election with a majority unless something changes significantly.
Provincially things are not much better either: Ontario is being run by a drug pushing grifter, the prairies took a hard right into ultra conservatism, the eastern provinces are essentially majority owned by a few rich families…

You think that scares us??? We’re a month away from signing trump into office…again…
Lol yeah, we were saying the same in the US amount the Mexican immigrants.
Turns out when you’re in a dire situation, upgrading to a bad one is preferable.
My wife and I were considering it as well. It’d mean lower pay and higher housing costs. We decided to stay put for now
Just use new pipe
I haven’t had to do much more than reload a page after getting this. Ublock, noscript, privacy badger on firefox. I think the unlock folks work long and hard at this. Makes me want to give them money.
I am looking forward to someone suing YouTube for deceptive advertising after they get ads on premium.
Sponsorblock will make up for the lost time and save you even more time.
happened to me this morning. purge your ublock filter cache and all is good

They caught me too on Firefox!
Since Peertube is soaring to new heights with the 7.0 redesign and the app release, I would say now is a good time to switch:
People have already said how to fix this, but I’ll add this different piece of advice: start using FreeTube.
Yep lots of these are popping up today. Wonder if google is going to start going hard on this.
Time to ditch youtube and find a FOSS alternative.
If you are a little experienced and know how to deal with Docker, you could self-host Invidious yourself on your local PC or laptop. Works fine for me for multiple months.
You’d be still using the videos of YouTube, but without their ad-flooded UI.
Unfortunately, I don’t think there is a mature enough FOSS video streaming platform. it turns out video hosting is really really expensive and complicated.
I recommend trying out GrayJay, it has YouTube and it’s most popular alternatives in one app, this way you can still watch folk from YouTube and support other platforms
Thanks! I’ll take a look
Peertube exists and fills the role quite well.
I mean it exists…that part is true.
Peertube is working on it.
So what, Google? You violate my privacy, I violate your terms of service, I’d say we’re even.
I don’t think they can actually have an ad blocker installed on your machine be a violation of their terms of service. It’s on your device. It’s like Ford would say driving one of their models with a green shirt is a violation of their terms of service. What’s next, your camera will be monitored by Google and you violate their terms of service if you turn your head away whenever an ad is playing? Well, yeah, they wanted to pause ads when your eyes would turn away from the screen, so they really are that evil.
Google was such a nice company at first, now it’s pure evil. Just like all the other mega corps. Open source and Piracy is the future.
