Y’all speaking about NewPipe and ReVanced, but SmartTube Next, which was originally intended for Android on smart TV’s, works perfectly on phones too.
And aside of blocking ads and allowing you to log in, it has Sponsorblock integrated.
But you don’t have the option to play in the background
Maybe true before but not now. They even have a pip function
Edit - talking about smartnext
That is interesting then
Revanced 👏 Extended 👏
Or ther regular one… either one fixes the problem 👍.
😯 What’s extended??
Praise inotia00
Do not redeem sir
what? yes I am redeeming the card
Microsoft employee: " Ma’am are you a prostitute? WHY DID YOU REDEEM YOU BITCH???"
I know a lot of people have grown attached to their free stuff, but it looks like a time has come to pay for the stuff we consume
people make videos for people for free. youtube (almost) doesnt pay anything to their content creators in ad revenue. it’s parasitic to annoy the audience into paying with ads
Patreon, Nebula, floatplane, skillshare, etc. I follow a bunch of YouTubers on some of those
Weird that you call the literal and metaphorical “host” the parasite in this.
Youtubes monetary problems are not my problems.
It might become so when it’s funding your free entertainment
If that’s your mindset then you are simply in the wrong place buddy!
Not for me. If I can’t have it for free, then I just won’t have it at all 🤷.
Absolutely fair, I’m pretty sure this is going to hurt youtube as a platform in the long run
Not really IMO. If it gets to that, most people will pay. Sure, there will be workarounds, like ReVanced and the likes, but it will be unknown or too complicated to do for most users.
Perhaps, it’s funny tho that YouTube is mostly just informing the world that adblock exists
I think most people know that adblockers exist, they just don’t know how to implement them on their devices.
Anyone half cabable should be able to google that
Yeah, I’m with ya on that… unfortunatelly, from what I’ve witnessed living for 38 years on this earth, most people are not.
That’s kinda the point
Can I have extra boot juice thank you so very much please?
Ask for it on my r/onlyfans and I’ll consider it
You’re the bootlicker soooo…
Yeah but they have a premium account already.
That’s probably from ReVanced, it reads Premium by default.
You mean the stuff that people uploaded to YouTube, which YouTube didn’t create for themselves, and has no right to build a wall around?
No I mean the bandwidth, engineering, hosting, support, moderation and community events
Services which were freely offered when creators added their content to YouTube, at no charge to YouTube, with no indication that there would be an attempt to charge an access fee.
YouTube encouraged the community to build a theme park while not paying even minimum wage to most of the builders, then decided to charge the community for admission to the park they built. This should be regarded as fraud and/or theft.
There’s no wall, you’re free to email your favourite creators to ask if they can email you their videos
Pay for things that respect you as a user, not this garbage.
I would like for Nebula to support a secure payment method. But for now this is what I’ll be using. I can still support my favoutite creators on patreon
I was considering Nebula – many of my subscriptions are there – but I need downloading (I am currently using NewPipe for that) and they have also had some anti-anti-Zionist tendencies.
Wait they don’t have downloading? Ain’t that a basic feature nowadays :/
They have no third-party clients either, which I assume is to prevent piracy (which will happen anyway). For me, it has the opposite effect – I would pay if they enabled downloads. Now I just freeload the non-exclusive content off YouTube.
...
Because I’m bad at identifying sarcasm, this section exists in case “Ain’t that a basic feature nowadays :/” was meant sarcastically (it could be because of how much more popular streaming has become as opposed to downloading).
Well, I don’t really have mobile data (way too expensive in my country), so I pre-download videos to watch/listen to in public transit.
If content is sent to your pc then there is a way to save it, regardless of how they try to hide that
If I pay this kind of money, I expect an API to user-respecting third party apps.
That’s what they should do. Allow use of Reddit-style third party apps (before the API debacle) for premium users.
I don’t even pay for those, lol 😂… cuz sooner or later, they turn into garbage anyway.
You can always stop paying or switch platforms. In my experience, it’s always good to switch every couple years for a lot of services online. It seems to be long term users that most often get milked
Yeah, but that just makes me feel like I’ve thrown away my money for nothing, like the platform didn’t get any better, it got worse… one of the many reasons why I pirate as well.
It’s a trade off. Unfortunately it seems that a lot of companies have figured out that making things more premium for fewer people means making the same amount of profit for less work
The way YouTube is handling it tho, is quite horrible
I will stop consuming before I start paying for something like Youtube.
With the Premium Afterhours service you get ad-free but also handjobs from a YouTube intern in the broom closet. $15.99 per month no contract, cancel anytime.
Have to admit that’s a good deal.
Yeah… if I get to choose the sex of the intern?
Ehh, as long as they look the part. Wigs are cheap
Lol, good answer 😂. Choosers masturbate by themselves 😂.
oh. I guess I need to read the terms of service a bit closer.
it started as a platform to share your private video’s, these day’s it is no longer about sharing, but about monitizing your video’s. the strange thing is, people still watch, I’m sure that there are or can be better alterntatives, hence instead of complaining, set up our/your own video sharing platform…
Rewards? Oh yeah, less money in my pocket and price increases every few months? Sounds way more convenient than ublock and revanced. Rather pay with my money for an ad-free experience and line the pockets of a rich corporation. My time is too valuable to compile revanced once every few weeks!
I would totally pay for YouTube premium if they weren’t so good about making me watch my favorite gun-tubers on other platforms. Every channel has this endless and constantly changing list of words they can’t say for fear of being demonetized.
Fuck them indeed.
Break up the monopoly and I won’t need to block your ads because I’ll be able to go elsewhere.
Same. Was watching a video on nebula where they said a naughty word and I caught myself gasping but then remembered they are free to do so here.
This is the true reason why I don’t have YouTube premium. This is quite an awful experience for a supposedly premium subscription. Why pay for premium if the experience is better using free methods?
Please corporations, treat paying subscribers well.
Huh? I’ve been a premium user for years. Haven’t seen an ad in a video in forever. Not sure what op is showing but looks like a little one time notification of a new feature. If I saw I’d have closed and never seen again.
So you never see youtubers with sponsors? Those are ads.
I’ve seen people getting a “products you may like” in the suggestions, with premium. There is no way to remove that (other than uBlock origin)
"Hold on honey, I’ll learn how to fix this pipe that’s burst, once I watch these 3 ads, complete this survey, redeem these rewards, finish this captcha and confirm my email.
Oh, this video isn’t available in Canada.
Even though it was made in Montana, literally a few miles from here."
Use uyouplusextra.
Fuck you.
Sucks to be an iOS user. On Android you can install ReVenced and block all Ads and in video sponsors.
Additionally, you can install 3th party clients for YouTube Music (without ads and background play).
You han use yattee, pay for a developper account (20$/year) to sideload apps like uYou+ (modded yt with revanced feautures) or jailbreak your device to sideload apps freely.
Are you sure you want to use shady 3th party service like that? You wouldn’t want to break out of Apple’s eco system, wouldn’t you? 😂
Jailbreak? Jailbreak is dead since iOS 15 but ok 🤙 Nowadays, buying an iPhone to jailbreak afterward, doesn’t make much sense at this point. You pay so much to get stability and constancy, and jailbreaking takes both away.
As ex jailbreaker, I switched to Android for this reason.
Same here, was on an iPhone 8, jailbroken on ios 16.4.1 with no stability issues. Jailbreaking is dying, I switched to Android too.
Don’t worry, iPhones will need to support sideloading by March 2024 in EU. Unfortunately, unlike with USB-C, this will most likely be limited to EU.
What is the difference in this new sideload thingy EU only compared with what we have today with tools like Altstore?
Probably they will add a way to sideload APKs on device, without 3th party tools.
They might increase the 3 apps limit too.
They might increase the 3 apps limit too.
Oh yeah, that is an annoyance that needs to be fixed, totally forgot about it.
Is there a r/FuckAlegriaArt-like community on the Fediverse?
Fuck this shit.
how dare they give you free things for supporting content creators.
