just LMAO at YouTube right now

[Kubishime]

I pause longer videos and resume later, it'll load 2 ads back to back, then "refresh" the video and load 2 more. it'll always have some bug like no "skip" button so you have to refresh the page again and load the ads once more.

all these dickweeds put product placements in their videos and then ads on top of that... is there even a point anymore?

I remember back when the platform was actually for people who cared about making content, now it's just a place where everyone are miserable - not only viewers, but all the creators bitch nonstop too because sometimes their videos don't get monetized so they don't make a full time living from making vlogs about their dog...

it's sad no one can stop google because if there was an alternative to YouTube, literally no one would ever come back

[SirFapsAIot]

You ever hear of an ad blocker, Kubishime?

[BigTimeOperator]

Ublock Origin works most of the time, although there is a cold war between YouTube and Ublock going on where they keep trying to outdo each other.

One trick is to click the 'share' button on the lower right, just below the video window, then click the 'embed' button and play from there and the video won't show any ads. At least that has worked so far.

doesn't work on my TV, and yet ads are just tip of the iceberg, there's so much more wrong with YouTube than just ads

[Redfish225]

Brave browser op, use it.

This.

Youtube is unusable without an adblocker.

I've been using ublock origin on chrome for years and it blocks everything

[BigElephant]

Brave browser op, use it.

This. On mobile either use Brave mobile, or get ReVanced.

[BigTimeOperator]

This.

on spread homey

[JayJ350]

I couldn't imagine using youtube without ublock. It's why I refuse to watch youtube on anything besides a PC web browser.

[Cragen12]

Old youtube was goat. nothing but dumbasses uploading stupid chit. Then the ****g0t$ got involved to try and milk money. Been downhill ever since.

Google did what Google does and ruined everything. Old youtube was the best, back when it was just "broadcast yourself" before all the corporations tried to take it over.

You ever hear of brave, kuminme?

[CanuckGame]

Youtube died the day Rich Piana snorted pre-workout and never woke up again.

[Anachron]

Brave browser op, use it.

This.

[HaiMeesk]

Youtube on the verge of being relegated to AOL status. Twitter's been kicking their ass with uncensored and unregulated content since Musk stepped it up.

[Dontoewsmebro]

Brave browser op, use it.

You...know I thought it was that Brave Fakkot from UGANDA

[crupiea]

I watch youtube just about all day every day so it is worth it for me to spend the $15 a month for premium.

My cable was creeping close to $400 a month, I took all that chit back to cox and said fukk them. Got YouTube TV for $72 a month, lol.

[Dukelord]

SmartTube app, it’s YouTube without ads.

[freeburn]

Sadly if you are a frequent watcher of youtube on a smart TV there's really no options. It's either ads or pay for premium

[JeepBruh]

Ho-lee-fuk lmao. Haven't had cable in close to a decade. Didn't realize it cost this much.

I just pay for internet and have two streaming services. Less than $100 month and that is more than enough for me.

absolutely pissening that YouTube gets away with charging for free content that's created by other users

SmartTube works if it's an Android TV.

[Pumped]

for android get revanced utube app. youtube would be unwatchable without ad blockers.

[N0rds]

You ever hear of brave, kuminme?

This, brave has everything built in, no need to ADD ON ad blockers, or anything.


But in the last month, I seem to get a bizarre "ad" if I pause for a while, and it goes away without me doing anything, its just annoying having such an obnoxious interruption of my normally 100% ad free YT experience. 100%!

[Paul Kreul]

Brave with uBlock, still have not found anything I can use watching YT on tv/XBox browser.

[LtGoose]

Imagine wanting to watch YouTube

That's some Voidgheyz type of chit

[BigTimeOperator]

Jootube is good for a few things like product reviews. I was just watching this interior of RAM Tungsten trim.



start 1:30 in

[VegasLifter26]

youtube was GOAT when they werent making any money lol...now they are scaling their business and the user experience gets worse. Just the typical life cycle of a tech business

Same thing with Tinder. When it was free it was awesome but now they are raking in the profits and it sucks big time
