Yesterday, I suddenly noticed that the “Return Youtube Dislike” extension wasn’t working, as in, I wasn’t seeing any dislikes. Is Youtube the cause of this? or this is just some random bug?

    I wish videos were hosted on different websites like the old days. Your friends would suggest a website to you to see a funny video like dumb.com and homestar runner. YouTube came along and now they have a monopoly on 99% of full length videos. Make your voice heard and stop using YouTube- host your own videos and keep the spirit of the old web alive

        I downloaded most of my favorite videos so I can watch them offline and ditched it ever since. I’ll watch if I need to find specific how-to info but other than that I managed to cut it out of my life.

          A home server is less expensive than YouTube Red. Download all their videos and periodically purchase new hard drives instead of giving YouTube a cent. Monthly fees are eating people alive. We have to be fighting back.

            Unfortunately I’m not networking saavy, but at the very least my Roku TV can play most video files from a USB. I have most of my favorite shows like On Cinema At The Cinema and King of the Hill downloaded and organized by season. Got any tips for labeling show folders that have a season 10? It assumes it’s next to season 1.

      I’ve been thinking about getting a Nebula subscription for awhile now. Most of the channels I subscribe to are on there so I’d feel good paying to support them. And Practical Engineering’s new (now finished) series was so good, I want to see more stuff like that instead of hoping the YouTube algorithm suggests something worth watching
