I've been enjoying Odysee a lot. It doesn't have much content but it works great. Hopefully content creators start uploading there as well.
I'm actually annoyed that NewPipe stopped working again and Invidious' download speeds are glacial
I thought the whole point of server side ads was that they are embedded in the video, not blockable?
this is true if the client itself has no knowledge of what is ads and what isn't, so like if they have no skip to time feature, no clickable links etc. Otherwise the plugin could just search for those elements and mute or skip if they are present.
with YouTube it just adds another layer of complexity for ad blockers
Presumably the implementation is not as seamless as that, and 3rd party clients do not handle it like 1st party ones.
6 seconds?! GASP
A few years ago I‘ve been traveling in Morocco. And as long as I was there, YouTube didn’t show me any ads! Neither in the web player nor in the app (on iOS). Does anybody have a VPN with a server in Morocco to test if this is still working?
I wonder how this affects people that setup Pi Hole and VPN and all that.
No black screens in GrayJay...
Wonder if someone could make a browser add-on that replaces the black screen with something else. Like plays a short song or something.
Some random no context 6s youtube videowould be funny
the moment I see a damn grammarly ad on freetube I'm dropping $100 on real debrid
