That's ok, most people I watch already post their videos to other websites. I just like to download the youtube ones so I can waste google's bandwidth instead.
I will stop using israeliteTube if it really comes to the point I have to watch ads. I swear to God I will. It's not worth it.
Also this.
This. I'm already 90% there.
Based
Dangerously based. I should do the same to Jeetgle.
seriously, why doesn't youtube enable browser DRM if they care so much about content being stolen? Normalcattle would enable it without thinking
wheres the link you double Black person?
Searching the title and goyim writer's name led me here.

>The fewer ads YouTube runs, the less it’s able to pay creators.
does anyone actually buy this bullshit? They take a huge cut from any content creators which impacts them more than the few people running an ad blocker do.
of course not
>does anyone actually buy this bullshit?
absolutely not. youtube have been reducing payouts to creators for years over the most insignificant of reasons. it's well documented.
Some Boomers may fall for it, but every Millennial and younger will have at least one parasocial relationship with a YouTuber that’s openly stated their ad revenue is basically non-existent nowadays (hence why they need merch/Patreon/etc.), so it’s pretty common knowledge at this point
Not my problem
Creators have patreon and stuff. my main objective is that i want google to lose money and start firing diversity hires to cut costs
I'm not sure why YouTube thinks it can win this arms race.
It can't, the issue is the medium (internet, javascript). There is no way to control the client side. The only way to win is to go back to cable where you really can force customers to watch ads.
Either that or go full walled garden lockdown like Musk with Twitter (requiring login to watch videos and ban people using adblock) - but that will almost certainly kill the website.
It must really be moronic Indian Executives that can't comprehend the limitations of the internet.
It's hubris. They think they will be the ones to succeed while ignoring all the failures around them.
I work for a globalhomosexual corporation, and I can guarantee that the front line engineers and at least two levels of management know that it’s a fool’s errand
But Pajeet Susan has decreed this, and you don’t advance in your job from successfully arguing to your boss that something shouldn’t be done, so they’ll put their heads down and do the bare minimum of work possible
Which is exactly what happened with UBO, I can guarantee that every time UBI made an update there were meetings held where the engineers stated "yup, we told you so" to their managers and their managers shrugged and told them to try something else until Pajeet Susan gets bored and move on
This is about users running other clients (Revanced, NewPipe, etc.)
They can easily shut down NewPipe and Invidius by going the Twitter route and requiring an account to use the service at all. Then they can ban users that don't watch ads since they can realistically see the count view for each individual user.
They could also make ads part of the video file so they can't be skipped at all.
It's not that Alphabet can't stop adblockers, it's that until now they didn't want to because they had free money and being the de-facto video sharing platform was more valuable to them in the long run. Today they don't have free money anymore and TikTok ate a chunk of their market.
I will enjoy all the content creators going broke.
I refuse to watch ads
>They could also make ads part of the video file so they can't be skipped at all.
that would waste too much storage and bandwidth for them to have so many copies of same video. israelites will lost more money this way than they gain
It doesn't need to be stored. They can process it on the fly which would be a waste of energy, but theoretically possible.
>The fewer ads YouTube runs, the less it’s able to pay creators.
And nothing of value was lost.
I will boycott every single product I see an ad for.
Not only boycott but buy their competitors products.
Have fun buying the competitor of generic gacha game #64590
god i hate jeets so much

They will win eventually with remote attestation that proves you're not using an Adblock, even an Adblock hypervisor wouldn't work then
1. TPM has already been cracked
2. It's not actually possible to ensure a computer isn't running untrusted code, because this is entails solving the Halting Problem
Interesting, how does validating/creating trusted execution environments map to the halting problem?
The number of states in a Turing Machine is uncountable, so it is impossible return a truth value for all possible states without a contradiction
I don't understand, what does unlimited states in Turing machines have to do with TE and what's the relevancy of truth tables?
No physical computer has unlimited states, doesn't mean their not practical
>I don't understand, what does unlimited states in Turing machines have to do with TE and what's the relevancy of truth tables?
It means it is impossible to create a Turing Machine that takes a program as input and decides whether or not it is "Trusted"
Cryptographic solutions just make it computationally expensive, not impossible, to run arbitrary code
In other words: Perfect security is impossible
>but if they make the cryptography good enough, it can't be cracked!
You're just going to move the arms race to hardware instead of software - again TPM has already been cracked
Side-channel attacks, flashing the chip, soldering on dummy chips, etc. are trivial circumvention strategies
No, remote attestation is not going to stop hackers from bypassing your shitty anti-adblock
To be honest youtube ads are not that annoying but I still refuse to watch them.
ublock on firefox, newpipe on the phone and only the ipad is locked to their app.
I block ads on websites that are fricking annoying. Make the internet usable and I will unblock them.
a lot of them are just malicious javascript powered data harvesters.
https://www.securityweek.com/fbi-recommends-ad-blockers-cybercriminals-impersonate-brands-search-engine-ads/
I would rather never watch youtube again then spend 5 minutes watching ads on every fricking video.
Tried watching youtube at my families house on the tv and I wanted to die.
Back when cable was a thing I would fricking dvr a show airing right now and just fricking watch it an hour later or the next day so I could skip commercials.
Commercials also have managed to get worse through the ages
What I get from this is that YouTube is dying if they're getting desperate for literal crumbs.
Good. It won't be missed.
Honestly for the last 5-ish years I have been bulk DL-ing all the worthwhile videos I can, because it is pretty obvious that noone keeps backups and when the site finally dies we are gonna have a Library of Alexandria situation.
Download stuff you enjoy anons, that way you can share it again when the bubble bursts.
>They took away microsd card slots but I didn't speak up because I'm a streamgay/cloudgay.
i already downloaded some nostalgia vids i watched in late 2000s, mostly early letsplays i have sentimental feelings over. i did that in fear that my country might just ban whole youtube, which it still will, im sure. so i prepared already
Keep up the good work anon (･ω･)b
I think that after the countless failed products of alphabet in the last few years, and with the risk of ai destroying their core business on the horizon, alphabet wants to run a tighter ship and tries to get YouTube to at least not lose money.
YouTube is an endless gold mine of infinite, high quality data, especially video data. It is also taken with """consent"""" so Google won't be fricked in the ass when the government demands training data from huge AI companies. Google would be absolutely moronic to say it's not profitable and dump it all down the toilet
They would not dump it either way, but I think alphabet might be concerned about the future of the whole company.
>showed a YouTube video starting to buffer whenever a user enabled the AdBlock extension.
isnt yt-dlp specifically made it so video downloads in chunks to prevent it before it throttles?
>blocking ads prevents creators from being rewarded for viewership
You know what else does that, demonetizing them for bullshit political reasons. Until YT stops doing that, I will not even consider allowing ads.
You dont need an account to watch youtube videos, so how exactly can they say im breaking their TOS without seeing or agreeing to it prior to watching anything?
I only watch YouTube because I'm addicted to garbage videos. I hope youtube makes it impossible to block ads, then I can finally stop watching. I have used the YouTube app and the ads made me stop watching immediately
>the less it’s able to pay creators.
and this ackhtually makes content quality/amount ratio better
Honestly you may be onto something anon
As annoying as e-begging is, the people that are able to survive off of it are generally the ones putting out better content, often more obscure and niche (like entire channels devoted to going into the hardware of the SNES in peak autistic detail) whereas the daily uploader article reader channels are still able to survive off ad revenue through sheer quantity and rage baiting
