I'm trying very, VERY hard to pound the correct knowledge into my brain to be able to switch my freelance business services away from Google to something like Proton Unlimited.

Leaving the Google ecosystem will literally make me lose work, but man, this shit has gotta stop

They've already tried this.

We've already sidestepped it.

It's just going to keep on going like this till a viable alternative shows up.

Seems like its already happening.

[–] pelespirit@sh.itjust.works 10 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Yeah, for at least 6 months.

Now you'll actually get a pop-up claiming "click here to find out why" in regards to the slowness.

Youtube acting like it has anything to offer aside slop and people who think they're philosopher kings because they play video games.

Youtube acting like it has anything to offer

This is weapons-grade copium, there is no other platform with even 1% of the content on YouTube.

Only thing I'm getring at the moment is waiting up to like 30s until the video starts, I'il take that over an ad that long any day.

I pay for YouTube premium so that I can leave the app and listen to videos. I still get ads even though I’m paying. I don’t think there’s a single surefire way to avoid them.

Oh they already do as of this week. But I am sure it‘s only temporary like last time and even then it‘s better than being served an ad. Google won‘t win this feud.

Ads on youtube are getting even more stupid. Does anyone get those ads about "procastinations" and "ADHD"? It starts off with some songs like "Procastination isnt your fault....." and some dolls dancing? So annoying

[–] Saledovil@sh.itjust.works 6 points 1 month ago

So annoying

Those two words describe about every ad on youtube.
