        the vast majority of my feed is really good and i have a bigass pile of subscriptions to channels i want to watch basically every video from because they’re really good

        learn to tell the algorithm to fuck off and serve you better things, don’t just blithely slurp up whatever it feeds you.

          Yes there is. I’d probably never have found out about variant Sudoku without Cracking the Cryptic. I get valuable rock climbing tips from professional climbers and coaches on YouTube and employ them often successfully in the climbing gym. I learn about weird weapons from that blacksmith guy that i can use in my TTRPGs and that’s not even taking about the science channels.

          Of course it you don’t curate your subscribed channels and just browse home it’s probably gonna suck and be full of clickbait

            So you’re the person who watches those medieval weapon tutorials. I wondered how those stayed alive.

    GOOGL knows that to become a long term successful company in a world of 4.50% interest rates, that P/E of 21 and dividend yield of 0.49% are barely cutting it.

    They can no longer push popular platforms like YouTube as a loss leader.

    Since some weeks I’m also getting an error in NewPipe/PipePipe, that my IP is temporarily blocked at YouTube - although I usually can just immediately resume and only get the error in the middle of the video like once or twice

    Anyone else - and especially maybe with a solution?

        Surprisingly, haven’t seen that with FreeTube
        But I use my mobile client much more than FreeTube on my PC…

        Hopefully we can still find a way around

        Although, maybe it’s time to sever the ties and just move to PeerTube - which would mean, that the will need to also produce some content

    Yes, starting getting this with ublock Lite.

    I’ve noticed if you click the button to "make an exception’, and refresh the page, you can watch the video anyway. But it’s possible that their server can record you doing that several times and might eventually suspend you.
