on my steam deck.
yeah I was confused as well.
that’s so scummy. way to get users to shrug and watch it on a pirate site instead. if that was their goal, they’ve done well!
I’m getting tired, man. these people are truly just the shittiest individuals ever.
i absolutely despise youtube. these fuckers are putting ads on paused videos now, and then this.
they will never get better. only worse. we need regulations badly.
…pardon?
you automatically assume I’m some weird corporate drone? you’re not exactly making your case very clear and you sound patronizing.
I’m not entirely certain who this rant is for, but i can’t imagine anyone who is labeled as a “consumer of the internet and not a citizen” is going to take you seriously.
and for that matter, those with good heads on their shoulders won’t either.
Stop blaming random people for the bullshit that corporations do and get away with. you’re pointing fingers at the wrong people and it makes your cause look fabricated.
Better tech education would definitely help take some power away from corporations
If you truly believe that, then vilifying more “simple” and less tech-savvy individuals is not the way to do it. Don’t be angry that they click on ads. Be angry that they’ve been poisoned to think that behavior is normal on the internet.
Education is absolutely possible for those new to things like the fediverse. But education doesn’t work when you use those labels for people. It widens the gap, it doesn’t close it.
I’m not sure that categorizing people as “normies” is a great idea. nor is it a way to entice new people and voices to join and learn how to use the fediverse so that it can become a more reliable place.
i think blaming enshittification on “normies” is a lot easier than holding greedy corporations accountable for directly making everything worse. it’s surely easier, but the real issue remains unchecked.
if anything, it’s a good thing that more people are learning how much better the fediverse is. it helps the fediverse get stronger, not weaker.
“us” vs “them” is not a mindset that will produce anything except cesspools of toxicity. at least imho.
what exactly does that mean?
they’re carefully wording a strong email as we speak. a very strong email.
completely agree. not sure what the downvotes are for.
i would like to say I prefer Newpipe, but those guys have a pretty annoying bug that’s been going on for years now and it’s still not been fixed.
If you watch a video and then go back to a list and scroll up to the top, the app crashes.
where exactly is the 190 going to go? is the quality in the room with us? cause I’m having trouble understanding why a white, plain looking plastic shell and generic gamepad circuit board is worth 190 dollars.
honestly I keep a tab open with the list of invidious instances open. because every day I usually have to change the instance. or swap it around.
invidious is fighting youtube very hard, but youtube is fighting back. so its difficult to keep up with.
i would keep an eye on the invidious instances list. and change to a different one if need be.
i constantly gotta swap invidious instances because youtube is being relentless in their war against invidious.
but the ui is awesome and I use it every day.
doing a search just now, I saw two pop up. super functional as well.
these fellas ain’t too bright. let’s continue to allow them to think they are.

this is depressing. i hope i can find an alternative, but it likely won’t be as amazing in scope or in website design/functionality.
=(
i have tried with various formats and unfortunately none of them work, or they just ignore the attempt.
i appreciate you trying to help, though. i honestly just kinda wish it would change names again so it’d be easier to somehow block. lol
my TV incurred my wrath by having the gall to show me a banner ad while I was in the middle of a game.
so I promptly cut its balls off. (disabled the internet entirely). now it is a dumb TV. and it behaves like a TV. and not an ad machine.
