It can't be worse than the experience with ads they provide
suboptimal viewing is already a builtin feature
Well I know for sure my viewing experience will be worse with ads, so "might" is a possible improvement
That's a risk I'm willing to take.
"That's a nice YouTube feed, be a real shame if somethin' were to...happen to it..."
Youtube is already one of the most resource hungry websites in existence for no fucking reason.
I can watch 1h YouTube on my laptop when its fully charged but 4h streaming anime...
If a piracy website builds stuff more efficiently than you are the problem.
For iOS users, Firefox Focus still seems unfazed by all of this. Sent a playlist to it from PocketTube today and I didn’t see an ad through several videos, with no delays.
i need to look into these. i’m on iOS but have always just used the main youtube app.
I've been finding Brave a better solution.
The problem with that is that Brave is just a distasteful option for entirely different reasons.
But then you are using Brave, which is not ideal.
Do they... do they understand that we are the customers?
You're only a customer if you pay them. If you don't, then you're the product, and they can't sell your eyeballs to advertisers if you block their ads.
When it comes to Google, even if you pay them you are still the product, YouTube Premium might stop the ads on YouTube but it doesn't stop the data collection for other Google products and partners.
No, you're the product. They're selling your data and viewing time to their customers.
How many millions are you paying them? Because unless you're paying into the business tier or an SLA, you are not their customer.
Funny, they're actively making it worse any time I try to lower my shields too. They've changed, very recently, from a video hosting platform with ads, to an advertising platform with some minor videos in between.
Oh, do you want my viewing experience to be worse? Well don't worry, because I'm doing my best so PeerTube has quality content in a weekly basis, while you also have the same content in a monthly basis.
YT can rot in Hell for pulling this garbage with its viewers.
I haven't been to youtube.com or opened the app in ages. I switched to FreeTube and haven't looked back. That'll last until they restrict API access, anyway.
