    I mirror my yt channel that feeds my family to peertube for my viewers. No one watches it, but I’ll keep trying.

    They will still inject ads to your home feed even if you get premium. I noticed the “Introducing” titled video recommendations which are usually 1-2 mins and they essentially place an item in your home feed. When I asked support they confirmed they were targeted ads but you don’t have to click them LMAO. Filthy lying company.

      If YouTube ever gets rid of the reverse chronological subscriptions feed, I’m so out. I quit Twitter when they got rid of the reverse chronological feed forever ago, as it just felt useless and confusing at that point. As it is, YT is barely usable with premium, and is only enjoyable with revanced, Grayjay, and browser plugins. Sigh.

    Invidious if you can host it yourself.

    Freetube if you cannot.

    Yt-dlp if all else fails.

    Same content, and besides needing an occasional update when google tries to break them again, no bullshit.

    Had some issues a few days ago. Then the brave army of Brave browser helped quickly. The other browsers should be ok now too with addons. I do not see any problem with videos any more. Still, the dependance on Youtube is terrible, most of the vids are there and there is no serious alternative. One day, hopefully, there will be. Maybe we need to pivot and someone should come with something very new, unrestricted, moderated by community, unstoppable and with no ads. When you do not pay or do not use add blockers, watching anything is almost impossible.

      There are alternatives, but there’s nothing that pays and promotes like Youtube. The content creators are in it for the cash, or at the very least wouldn’t not be in it if it weren’t for the cash. They can’t even dual post their Youtube stuff because it would be parasitic to their YT income.

    “Based on these reports, users see a message stating “Comments are turned off,” which appears across a wide range of videos”

    Seems like a win to me.

    So… just the video, no ads, no comments, no text at all? Please block it for me too, YouTube!

    Gonna use this thread to shout out https://github.com/YTLitePlus/YTLitePlus There are more than enough options for android users out there, this one is for iOS though. Tried it out this weekend on my jailbroken iPhone 6. If i read it correctly it should also be installable without a jailbreak but not that easily. Its super cool and nowadays it feels so weird that you got the option to do such shocking things like disabling shorts or reorder the tabs, its really fun.

        uBlock origin is the same code on mine or yours machine. It does not need a graphics card, nor uses some particular instuctions of the CPU.
        On Firefox Stable on Flathub at the time of writing, with default settings and default lists, it will work as expected on Youtube.

          Google does not always provide the same Youtube code/challenges to you and me. That’s what A/B testing is about.

      Mine isn’t working flawlessly with this exact set up, but it’s just forcing me to refresh the page every time I load a new video. Still no ads.

          Nope, just uBlock. If I disable uBlock before loading the page everything works fine as well, so I’m pretty sure it’s uBlock.

          But I’m on Linux (openSuse Tumbleweed) and have had some interesting “distro specific” bugs in recent months, so I’m chalking it up to “my OS + Firefox” and not “uBlock”

            I am also on openSUSE Tumbleweed, but using Flatpak Firefox.
            Perhaps you can try disabling hardware acceleration in Firefox to see if it chinges anyting.

              Reporting back, you were absolutely correct. Hardware acceleration was turned back on, and turning it off fixed the problem.

              I’ll give it a shot. I don’t use flatpaks, but I think I’ve already disabled hardware acceleration for a previous issue? I’ll report back once I’ve checked/tried it out.
