Highly recommend piped.video or piped.kavin.rocks

Both are instances of piped, and is a brilliant front end for YT. Skips ads, but also includes skipping intro videos and mid video sponsors.

piped.video is the same instance as piped.kavin.rocks

Oh neat! TIL.

I’m sure it’s great once the video actually loads.

Wow, that’s just as bad as taking a screenshot of a photo of a monitor displaying an image of a painting

Hang on, let me fax you a Polaroid of the printed spreadsheet I’ve been using as a database. I’ll be sending it through an amateur radio repeater with autopatch.

Youtube has ads?

This even dumber than accidentally making a bad product.

If you minimize a video on mobile ads also fuck up the aspect ratio so when you try to enlarge it to skip it’s harder.

Just use newpipe

Saigonauticon , to programmerhumor in Early disappointment

Hm, I wonder if I could make these students more miserable by introducing a CPU that permits static operation, then clocking that with a true random number generator?

So now it has output that is deterministic from the standpoint of the CPU but nondeterministic to an outside observer. Probably wouldn’t affect the O(n) notation though, come to think of it. It would be funny though.

Use NewPipe x SponsorBlock.

Ah, the joy of not being sold anything.

I’m not really a fan of sponsor block. It’s pretty much the most privacy respecting way of advertising and safe income for the creator. Seems like a win−win. I don’t like watching ads but I’d rather watch a sponsor segment than a YouTube ad

NewPipe ftw though

I see your point, but I really wish we could go back to a more innocent internet, when people make slightly crappy videos as a hobby, rather than overproduced shows as a profession.

illectrility ,
@illectrility@lemmy.world avatar

I kind of agree but I also kind of don’t.

I thoroughly enjoy well produced content by the likes of Veritasium, Captain Disillusion, Mark Rober, Lemmino, Potato Jet and more. I do see where you’re coming from tho

There still are people doing it as a hobby and some even consider it a hobby despite the high production quality. Those channels are harder to find, though and that is kind of sad. I can’t help but wonder what would’ve been if we hadn’t commercialised the web.

That cat is overweight and the owner is enabling the cat to stay obese

The cat needs to be on a diet as that weight is unhealthy and keeping the cat at that weight is abusive

Hosting video content must be insanely expensive so I have some amount of sympathy for YouTube. However, ads earn such a paltry amount that I can hardly fathom how anyone can put up with it.

The total amount of ad revenue between all sites is only like $12 per user per year. So IMO it is a net benefit to block all ads (save your sanity!) and simply pay the creators of content you like.

Even just one $5 Patreon sub is worth more than all ads I’m likely to see so I block everything I can and IMO my conscience is clear

UnfortunateShort , to linux in What is it with r/pcmasterrace and anti-Linuxism?

Dude, the subreddit is named r/pcmasterrace. Even if they aren’t anti-Linux, maybe you shouldn’t take them too serious

I know i get Downvotes all the way, but just pay for YouTube Premium. I do it a while now and me and my wife use YouTube Music for Music Streaming (wich i like more than Spotify). NewPipe is no Solution for me, cause i watch YouTube on my TV and listen Music on my Smart Speaker.

GamerBoy705 ,

Well, I use ReVanced so I won’t have to pay a penny and still have all the features from the official app

theKalash ,

Adblock is free.

If only phones had a somewhat simple way to view desktop-format video so that not everything had to be done in portrait. If only.
