The company’s team clarified that their terms prohibit third-party apps from disabling ads, as it denies creators their due reward for viewership. Although the announcement did not specify any app by name, it’s plausible to presume that third-party YouTube apps such as NewPipe, YouTube ReVanced, Piped, and others might be implicated.
Is “creators” Youtube’s version of “think on the children”?
Yes it is
Get off of Chrome
Get off of YouTube
Get off of gmail
Get off of Google
Theres a whole big internet out there. You don’t have to limit yourself to one single company.
Sort of true, except YouTube. I watch almost exclusively YouTube few hours every day. If it opens by mistake in a browser, it is totally unwatchable with ads inserted even in short videos. I hope reVanced will manage to avoid detection somehow, otherwise it is quite hopeless. Yes, I can pay for premium, but the app will be full of stupid crap and no gesture controls.
There is also newpipe
Does it show my subscriptions, etc?
No, it does not access your account at all and stores subscribed channels locally within the app. But there might be a way to transfer your subscriptions over if you can find a way to export them from your youtube account.
YouTube is the internet for me. Of my internet usage over 95% is watching YouTube
Same; ever since I left reddit I just can’t find any other platform besides YT that satisfies my need to be addicted to a website.
Problem is, there’s shitton of content that needs to be archived and moved from YouTube, if YouTube stops to exist then all tutorials and teaching videos and all previously produced content will be gone, people want this content, so only true solution is somehow archive all YouTube videos and move them from YouTube, until it’s done, YouTube will have monopoly, and it’s bad situation we’ve found ourselves in
If it’s educational, it could go to Wikicommons.
But Youtube already take more than half of what creator should earn.
I googled. Isn’t it 45% Youtube and 55% vid producer?
If they don’t get demonitized or falsely copyright claimed.
Do you know how much it costs to build and host a video platform?
they still havent cracked down on firefox + ublock
Silence!
Don’t tell the holy secret to the world!
They probably will eventually, but it’s just not priority. Most people interact with YouTube via Chrome (or one of the 400,000 rebranded Chromimum browsers) or the YouTube app, both of which Google can more tightly control. Firefox, with it’s smaller market share, just isn’t worth chasing… yet.
Still dont know what the big deal is, libretube and freetube still work fine. Same with firefox and uBlock.
I use Revanced. Out of curiosity, I tried going to youtube.com on Firefox + Ublock origin on my Samsung a70. Full screen, “double tap to forward 10 seconds”, “double tap to back 10 seconds” and captions work.
They’re not doing a very good job
And I’m here for it. uBlock Origin, NewPipe, and Grayjay all work fine. If those stop working, I’ll also stop using YouTube.
YouTube already denies many creators of their due rewards from viewership over trivial things like saying the word “hell” in a video. it’s obviously something more considering it’s Google we’re talking about.
even though this may be inconvenient, it will likely help migrating good content to less shitty platforms/companies in the long run.
How? Do you think channel with 2M subs will move to Vimeo? Why would anyone do that?
once the 2M subs are inactive because they got annoyed its the logical step to move to regain them
Not really likely.
Finally?
