I must admit, I never considered "keeping people away from your platform" and "self-DDos" as possible candidates, for my social media bullshit bingo (lemmy.world)

YouTube isn't nearly as much as the other two, there's an arms race starting with ad blockers, but Reddit and Twitter are on a whole other level of nastyness.

Any alternatives for YouTube? I feel like that one is the hardest to replace tbh

[-] JohnDClay@sh.itjust.works 4 points 1 year ago

Not really. PeerTube is a federated video platform, but there's very little content since there's no incentive for creators to switch.

I will put videos there not trying to make a profit just want to post videos.

I remember the first time someone sent me a YouTube link. Opened up AOL Messenger and a buddy from school asked me if I had heard panic at the disco. Sent over a link with I write sins not tragedies Found Smosh right after. Early YouTube was great

Revanced manager has the ability to patch twitter, YouTube, twitch, spotify and tiktok APIs. Never see an ad at all these days.

The constant co-evolution of control and resistance.

[-] Ezergill@lemmy.fmhy.ml 2 points 1 year ago

What did YouTube do tho?

[-] SnowFoxx@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

Trying to lock you out, if you didn't pay for premium and using an Adblocker instead.

[-] teft@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

Doesn't happen to me on firefox using ublock origin. I've never seen an ad on youtube and i just got done watching a bunch of music videos.

[-] stankmut@lemm.ee 2 points 1 year ago

They haven't rolled it out to everyone. It's being tested.

[-] SnowFoxx@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

For me neither, but that feature also isn't implemented yet. So this could change at anytime.

[-] dingus@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 year ago

They're rolling out blocking videos for people who use adblockers. Google's ad business is finally saying "no" to anyone who tries to get around watching ads.

To be fair, having Musk at the helm of one of those should be considered cheating at bullshit bingo. I don't think there's a single week without Musk not doing anything completely idiotic that further sinks the company. Firing programmers by line of code? Answering mails from the press with a poop emoji? Not paying rent for the offices? Twitter blue and its... I don't even know what's that anymore? And the list goes on and on and on.
