quick, question. Would you be willing to pay for a "premium" video hosting website? I'm not doing s study I'm just curious. Caz I think paying isn't the problem it's yt, We know very well that it can survive with moderate ads, but what about a payed platform that has no ads and doesn't sell your data?
Shoutout to nebula.
Depending on how much content you consume it might not be enough for you, but it's cool to have an independent platform doing stuff.
I had noticed too. Although I mostly use FreeTube by now I am a tab hoarder and if I open a YouTube tab with a video in Firefox it does take a few seconds until the page is displayed correctly after the tab has finished loading.

If that’s real, I’m pretty sure the EU will have something to say about that, as well as the FCC. That’s a flagrant violation of net neutrality.
They just slightly increase their budget for legal fines....
Along with the FTC and DOJ (one can hope)
What's the FCC going to say?
"Which Barrell would you like us to bend over?"
Well Ajit “fuck ajit pai” Pai is gone, so the FCC is actually trying to do its job again
YouTube slowly trying to push me off their platform.
I will quit YouTube before watching ads.

Nice try reddit.
I fuckin knew it! I could've sworn this was happening. I would switch to brave to watch something and would be able to no problem. Fuckin bastards.
Huh. I had noticed that.
If Youtube isn’t allowed to check my browser if I use ublock origin. Is it allowed to check what browser I use and restrict curtain things?
The team at the ublock origin sub have found a filter for ublock that disables it:

Using Firefox, I have always had User agent switcher handy. It's a huge shame but it stops from this kind of stupid shit from happening.
the reddit link is trying to force me to log in. Has reddit changed its policies again?
The link is wrong. Here's the correct one
