  Yeah this sucks, but do they have any alternatives? How else do they make money? Or is everyone mad because the amount of ads they show is disproportionate to the amount of ads they need to show?

    They have a literal monopoly on the service and the analytical data the sell makes more money then advertising ever could.

      I don’t doubt that they sell data, but it would have to be monumental to actually fund all their hosting needs.

    No one here wants to talk about the realities of running such a massive video hosting operation.

    No one is a serious competitor due to how large of a mountain it is to climb to compete. With every minute that goes by, YouTube becomes even more massive.

      I feel like a decade or two (damn) ago now DailyMotion really had a chance man even Vimeo there for a min but then its like they just gave up fr.

      It was kind if interesting to see people using Pornbub there for a min and it would have been cool for them to try and lean into that more with like a sfw variant of some sort (called something different) because they are probably one of the only companies that have the ability to do it honestly and even then, idk if they could really do it like YouTube does.

      YouTube is the one single thing I haven’t de googled myself from.

    YouTube made more money than Disney in 2925. Tell me why unskippable ads are justified.

  All i read is that nobody will be watching all these ads and YouTube will have to shutdown.

  The true global power emerging from all of the dystopic activities, including tech and business greed, is advertising.

  I don’t mind long ads in fact I am happy that they are unskippable. Too bad i don’t get any cause I block that shit.

  They also started forcing logins on an Android tv I have yesterday when I checked the update version, thankfully there’s apps like smarttube that aren’t made to be garbage on purpose, which can be easy to install if you for example

  Tap for spoiler

  download AFTVnews downloader then use code 28544 for the stable release.

  YouTube Recanced all the way. I’ve had YouTube premium for free.99 going on 5 years now

    yeah unfortunately for me my revanced keeps becoming increasingly broken with no way to update. OnePlus rolled out their new OxygenOS update with a version of youtube newer than the revanced version and I can’t downgrade it.

  I recently set up a local instance of Invidious. All the devices on my network can use it and there are 0 ads. There are some free public instances, also.

  Not as easy (or portable) as ad block, but I’m a fan.
