I just tried to look up a specific video of a Nick Swardson stand up bit. All I searched was “Nick Swardson loitering”. There were 5 fucking ads before an actual user posted video, then one real human posted video that barely had anything to do with Nick, then 5 more fucking ads.
I knew they were forcing ads into videos but clogging the entire search feed with ads is unfuckingbelievable.
Is this really what it’s come to? Ads are more important than what I’m actually looking for? Are people really okay with this?
Odysee just removed all ads of their platform and seems like a great YouTube alternative. I’ve been using it and uploading videos to it and I’m liking it a lot.
The comments are also much higher in quality. I’d say it’s comparable like Lemmy and Reddit. Much more positivity and people who actually add something to a video. You do ofcourse have a few Nazis hanging around, but freedom goes both ways and you don’t really come across them.
Besides that just use NewPipe on mobile or an AdBlocker.
I noped out at “blockchain-based”
NFTs and every other cryptobro have destroyed its reputation.
If you use Odysee you don’t even have to know anything about crypto or blockchains, it just works like YouTube.
Better question is why are you not using an adblocker?
Because I don’t know how to do all that shit on my phone 😭
I’ve had several people try to explain but I just can’t fuckin do it. I’d need someone to sit down with me and show me while explaining every action.
Use your app store to install Firefox.
Install ublock origin Firefox extension.
Go to Youtube using Firefox.
i tried to find a clip of that olympics break dancing thing a week or two ago.
It was fucking impossible. I literally couldn’t find shit, it was all AI generated videos.
