USE PORNHUB, Start uploading your content there.
they also slow down videos if I use Firefox.
YouTube can eat my ass.
Really? Guess it hasn’t hit me yet. I use Firefox and haven’t noticed any slowdowns.
I use an old outdated version of FF because the new v3 google bullshit isn’t supported for my os version.
it was working fine one day and then a week after the official “cut off” it just slowed down and dropped quality.
it’s ok though. I don’t mind switching the quality and waiting for videos to buffer.
??? You realise that the manifest v3 in ff isn’t the same as that in chrome? Ublock works on latest firefox. And unless you’re using esr. Congrats on the vulns you’ve cultivated.
I’m using windows xp, is that bad?
It’s bad enough that I can’t tell if you’re trolling me or not.
Youtube works a lot better for me after switching from Firefox to Librewolf.
The banned my ip. Been looking at alternatives
How they ban you? They aren’t like reddit Nazis
Must have been temporary. Pipepipe displayed a message saying ~“youtube has blocked this ip”, but it’s working now.
They probably overused yt-dlp and are now required to fill a captcha + log in to an account.
Ads on youtube are getting even more stupid. Does anyone get those ads about “procastinations” and “ADHD”? It starts off with some songs like “Procastination isnt your fault…” and some dolls dancing? So annoying
So annoying
Those two words describe about every ad on youtube.
Haven’t seen ads in 10 years, people actually use the internet without ublock?
There will be a solution for the adblocking side, there always is
They’ve already tried this.
We’ve already sidestepped it.
It’s just going to keep on going like this till a viable alternative shows up.
How? I’ve been noticing buffering the last few days with 1080p60 videos and up even using the suggested app version in Revanced.
and i might just stop using youtube. does youtube think there aren’t other options?
What options? Where can I find stuff about fixing my motorcycle? Oceanliners? Deep Space documentaries? Fixing dieselinjectors in my car etc?
one option

hell of a lot less censorship, and better video quality there as well.
I tried using the Daily Motion Chromecast app the other day, until it served up an hour-long lecture as an advert with no “skip” button.
I forgot about dm. I used to watch dm way more than yt back in the day. Thanks for the reminder!
There exists a massive, global network of websites that are all easily searchable through various means.
I look up and view similar topics to you and never use YouTube for them.
Try searching the internet as a whole!
Reddit and Discord killed that, sorry, the Internet you’re referring to is dying and almost dead.
Most of those things are better without videos anyways. So much wasted time to get to the point.
As for documentaries… Are good ones actually on YouTube?
Seems like its already happening.
Yeah, for at least 6 months.
Now you’ll actually get a pop-up claiming “click here to find out why” in regards to the slowness.
I’ve gotten that before too
Thanks uBO team I don’t even know yt is trying anything
There have been periods where one of my accounts was getting an ad-length black screen with buffering throbber (I hate that name) and, the most recent time, it was accompanied by a pop-up asking me if I’d like to find out why that was happening. Yeah. I know why that’s happening, thanks.
Then that stopped happening again. Either they gave up or UBo have worked around it somehow. Never ending arms race.
This happens to me too, especially when it’s a computer that I haven’t used in a while, which makes me think that yeah it’s the arms race. It stops once my browser is open long enough for uBO to update
Using uBO, but have noticed a slightly longer delay of a few seconds between hitting play and the video starting, but I can deal with that over being forced to watch 30s of ads.
Honestly it just felt like youtube’s servers were shittimg themselves again, so I baely even register it as a real interruption.
It’s the people that make blocking lists that we should thank. I don’t think uBO makes anything themselves
Oh they already do as of this week. But I am sure it‘s only temporary like last time and even then it‘s better than being served an ad. Google won‘t win this feud.
I was paying for a whole family (premium). But I will not pay and send money to a fascist state. We’ve cancelled all our us based services.

meh, its still not inconvenient enough to pay 10+ dollars a month. The state of adverts online is so egregious that I would probably sooner stop watching Youtube than pay or put up with ads.
A previous version of uBlock Origin (1.64.1b4) seems to work perfectly on Firefox, just in case.
Having to wait with a black screen before the video starts is completely acceptable to me.
