    I partially disagree. It depends on *why* they sent the link.

    If it’s totally out of nowhere, I agree; if someone asks a question and their channel/video answer the question? Feel free to advertise yourself.

      There’s some bot that links to piped, but i’d prefer people stop using youtube as a source for information / shilling their channel

            Wait it takes forever for you? Like the piped app? Mine has been instant for the last 2 years. Like straight up faster than the Youtube offical app

              Maybe I’ll try again, could have been a bad day, but my experience was bad enough I could not justify considering it as a viable alternative.

              I thought it was unresponsive until I put my phone down to make some tea, came back and it just then started to play.

                I mean with how many upvotes your comment has, I think it means something is different between my experiences and other people’s. I’m just not sure what the cause of the difference is.

                  Yeah I just tried another one, it took 21 seconds to begin playing the video from when I pressed the play button.

      Because Privacy isn’t 1 or 0 situation. It is granular thing you may think using YouTube crosses the line but others might not agree.

      We as a community can choose what crosses the line for this community.

      Personally I am fine with YouTube links, there is usually a bot posting a more private link down below if you want. It makes it easy to pick one of the other it isn’t that big of a deal.

    Yes! That’s why I did a YouTube series about this very issue on my channel, go here and smash that subscribe link and find me on patreon too!

    Videos can* provide better privacy explanations (ex: animating asymmetric key exchange) The videos that get posted on here, well…

    How about banning video essays?

    Agreed - I just had to block the user that’s been loading up the place with his YT links but that cleaned up my feed quite nicely. Suggest a ban for that one too (didn’t want to name anyone but should be painfully obvious by looking at recent activity).
