Turning a CD into the equivalent of a vynil. Now that’s something I never expected. Looks like a CD could fit maybe 3 tracks?
frittoBee@lemmy.world 5 weeks ago
Oh very nice! I never would have thought that it could be possible to play a CD like that. Your other videos on YouTube are also very cool and interesting.
slyka@pawb.fun 5 weeks ago
@frittoBee it's not really playing a CD, its cutting a groove like on a vinyl record into the CD and then playing it on a record player.
recklessengagement@lemmy.world 5 weeks ago
They want to track you, and if you don’t let them (VPN, 3rd party client, VM, etc) then they pull this shit.
DrDystopia@lemy.lol 5 weeks ago
I always use VPN and when I get this nonsense I know it’s nonsense because the video plays perfectly if I switch to a different country and reload the page.

I’m also mostly de-Googled now. I’m not signed in anywhere and don’t use most of the google stuff. It wasn’t really that hard since there are great alternatives. But saying no to YouTube and all the nice channels I’m following is really hard.
Cherry@piefed.social 5 weeks ago
The nice channels, those days are gone. The internet we knew has been destroyed or will be diminished to an annoying shadow pretty soon. If you had to put a % on what is now monitized what would it be?
Rekorse@sh.itjust.works 5 weeks ago
For youtube just use yt-dlp and download them, can be behind a vpn when you do it. Im not sure if that affects the creator making money though.
hungryphrog@lemmy.blahaj.zone 5 weeks ago
Try invidious.
lightnsfw@reddthat.com 5 weeks ago
I’ve started getting captcha every time I do a Google search. Not sure what that’s about but it’s made the decision to pursue alternatives easy.
supersquirrel@sopuli.xyz 5 weeks ago
When you are forced to do captchas make sure you do them as badly as possible while appearing to be human!
These fuckers weren’t even paying attention to the “precision vs. accuracy” concept introduced on the first lecture in the one science class they had to take. Make them pay for their ignorance.

This helps protect our community.
I hate when companies lie to my face. Watching a video anonymously is not harming anyone except maybe a fraction of a cent of cost to Google. If I was posting a comment or something maybe, but oh, you already need to be logged in for that.
Peter_Arbeitsloser@feddit.org 5 weeks ago
Yeah, it’s funny. The bots are actually logged in to shitpost.
EpicFailGuy@lemmy.world 5 weeks ago
You’re probably using revanced or vanced … there was a recent patch, you have to update it.
nogooduser@lemmy.world 5 weeks ago
It also does it sometimes if you’re on a VPN.
tehmics@lemmy.world 5 weeks ago
I’m getting it constantly in my old reddit app. Seems if it doesn’t recognize your browser fingerprint it will call you a bot.
Nexoflexo@lemmy.ml 5 weeks ago
He’s using a browser version not revanced
frittoBee@lemmy.world 5 weeks ago
I normally use NewPipe but that didn’t work so I used Firefox and got that lovely message on the video. But now, a few hours later, it all works again…
atrielienz@lemmy.world 5 weeks ago
Are you also using something like ubo?
chunes@lemmy.world 5 weeks ago
Youtube is not a ‘community.’ Fuck youtube.
LodeMike@lemmy.today 5 weeks ago
No it is a community. It’s just that they’re lying that this is protecting it.
WoodScientist@sh.itjust.works 5 weeks ago
I would say it’s not a community just based on the fact that you can’t have any kind of actual conversation in the comments section. Commenting on YouTube videos is just screaming into the void.
Psythik@lemmy.world 5 weeks ago
Yes. It’s been this way for about a year now.
Fucking sucks. I used to enjoy looking at YouTube while signed out so that I could see new content that my algorithm refuses to show me. Now I can’t.
WhiskyTangoFoxtrot@lemmy.world 5 weeks ago
I can still watch videos logged out most of the time. That message only appears occasionally and when it does I use Celluloid or Freetube to watch the video.
finitebanjo@lemmy.world 5 weeks ago
I wonder what sort of demographics are effected by this, because it’s the first I’ve heard of it and I semi-regularly browse while signed out.
Trainguyrom@reddthat.com 5 weeks ago
Yeah I’ll frequently pop a private window when watching something I don’t want mucking with my recommendations and I’ve only ever been prompted to sign in for age verification

Dreaming_Novaling@lemmy.zip 5 weeks ago
Man 90% of Invidious instances are dead/not working for me, and of the few that do, they get mad at me for using an agent switcher (which I turn off but still). Freetube is slightly better, but will also break every few days and either require VPN switching or waiting for a fix from the devs.
Sidenote: LibRedirect users, are all LibReddit instances dead or is it just me?
drasglaf@sh.itjust.works 5 weeks ago
This one always works for me,awesome instance.
Other alternatives are FreeTube, NewPipe or GrayJay. Personally I use FreeTube the most.
ohshit604@sh.itjust.works 5 weeks ago
Man 90% of Invidious instances are dead/not working for me, and of the few that do, they get mad at me for using an agent switcher
While true, Invidious instances were dropping like flies due to the amount of maintenance needed to keep it alive, Invidious admins shouldn’t be flagging you for using a user agent switcher.
I’m not sure of your nationality however, if you’re looking for an invidious instance I host one for folks with Canadian IP’s - inv.halstead.host
Freetube is slightly better, but will also break every few days and either require VPN switching or waiting for a fix from the devs.
If I’m not mistaken Freetube can either use Invidious instances to proxy video playback or directly connect to YouTube servers,
Also, I host a Redlib instance at lib.halstead.host (again geo-restricted to Canadian IP’s)
rozodru@lemmy.world 5 weeks ago
Invidious instance I use that has never caused me problems: invidious.f5.si/feed/popular
as far as libreddit…yeah it can be hit or miss. safereddit.com is generally pretty decent and hasn’t gone down too much, only issue I have with that is videos are very slow to play if at all.
finix_the_psyker@sopuli.xyz 5 weeks ago
I’ve always found Freetube to be the best, most reliable alternative by far. It does break occasionally though which is disappointing, but I would assume that’s due to YouTube fighting hard to keep people on their own platform.
Linsensuppe@feddit.org 5 weeks ago
Switch the VPN server helps for me sometimes
pineapplelover@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 weeks ago
Yeah sometimes I gotta do annoying ass captchas because of this
AceFuzzLord@lemmy.zip 5 weeks ago
This is why I use things like Newpipe on my phone or FreeTube on my desktop/laptop. Why deal with a massive headache when I can bypass the agitator?
amino@lemmy.blahaj.zone 5 weeks ago
the IP block unfortunately applies to newpipe as well. you’d have to sign in to make it go away
AceFuzzLord@lemmy.zip 5 weeks ago
For now, a fix that works for me on that has been just restarting my phone. Probably a very temporary solution that yt is working on preventing from working, but at least it works.
frittoBee@lemmy.world 5 weeks ago
Yea I normally use Newpipe as well but it didn’t work so I switched to browser for this video.
AceFuzzLord@lemmy.zip 5 weeks ago
Fair enough.
eager_eagle@lemmy.world 5 weeks ago
Use the libredirect extension to redirect links automatically to an open alternative
frittoBee@lemmy.world 5 weeks ago
I already get redirected to NewPipe. I only use the browser when NewPipe is not working.
ToadOfHypnosis@lemmy.world 5 weeks ago
You use a VPN? This pops up when my VPN is on.
frittoBee@lemmy.world 5 weeks ago
No I don’t use a VPN
tungsten5@lemmy.zip 5 weeks ago
Ive been seriously considering just deleting youtube and using nebula in place of youtube. Im just not sure if the subscription is worth it. I love the idea of no ads, supporting the creators directly, and not supporting google. Has anyone here tried nebula? Would love to hear your thoughts
frittoBee@lemmy.world 5 weeks ago
I tried Nebula for a while and as the others said, it is worth it, but not enough to replace YouTube for me.
captainlezbian@lemmy.world 5 weeks ago
I spent a year with it, it wasn’t enough to completely replace youtube but if you have the money I definitely felt it was worth it. I only let it run out for money reasons
ThomasLadder_69@lemmy.ml 5 weeks ago
Great platform with a ton of amazing creators. Definitely worth a subscription, but not a full replacement for yt. Revanced can at least get rid of the ads/improve ux.
Mwa@thelemmy.club 5 weeks ago
Would love to quit youtube if most of the people I watch move to Peertube or any other alternative, Like what happened to Twitter and people moved to Bsky

This has been happening to me in embeds for ages, and I am logged in. It doesn’t even give any option to sign in or watch on YouTube, I just don’t get to watch embeds anymore.
SonOfAntenora@lemmy.world 5 weeks ago
AI bots that are not google’s. They want exclusive ownership of juicy training data.
JcbAzPx@lemmy.world 5 weeks ago
That doesn’t make sense though, since they can just create a bunch of free accounts for the bots to use.

What will it take to make PeerTube relevant enough that people will creat content and follow creatos on the fediverse?
Omnipitaph@reddthat.com 5 weeks ago
The masses don’t know how to search for information anymore. Not only that, but they are unable to do so with the disparity of their understanding of the search engines and the current state of search engines. People are used to being fed information through an algorithm, and those who control the algorithm aren’t about to promote a competitor that’d take away their money.
frittoBee@lemmy.world 5 weeks ago
Is it possible for creators to earn money on PeerTube? If not, maybe that’s what’s holding a lot of them back. And of course the fact that most people don’t know what PeerTube is. It should be easily accessible for everyone and have some kind of system to give the creators money. And make the switch from YouTube easy.
WoodScientist@sh.itjust.works 5 weeks ago
Most creators on YouTube make their main money from patreon/merch anyway. No reason you can’t do that on peertube.
descartador@lemmy.eco.br 5 weeks ago
It’s possible, but they have to implement the paywall or ad revenue by themselves. They are allowed to monetize, but it’s not necessarily trivial or even profitable, at this point.
cley_faye@lemmy.world 5 weeks ago
Accessibility, usability, scalability at very, very large scale, actual searchability, and actual return on investment, because some people actually get money from youtube?
Actually, peertube, depending on the instance and the popularity of the content, can be incredibly frustrating for a viewer. And it can be frustrating to the content creator. Some people are quick to dismiss minor (and less minor) annoyances, are able to look for fixes, and so on, but for almost everyone? The experience is nightmareish, with incertain returns (or no returns at all, as it stands).
Once you fix all that, you might have a chance to convince larger entities to move to peertube. Well, more realistically, to host their own instance. Well, more realistically, to host multiple instances, because really some people would hammer the platform down with each video. See the issue yet?
descartador@lemmy.eco.br 5 weeks ago
I agree, but I didn’t really get the last point about hammering the platform.
Krudler@lemmy.world 5 weeks ago
Nothing.
There is a massive gap between the aspirations of online consumers, and actual consumer behavior.
People will never ever support creators, that’s the bottom line. People are greedly little fucks and they like it. Don’t fool yourself.
I say this as a former massive streamer will millions of watched hours. People. Are. Shit.
frittoBee@lemmy.world 5 weeks ago
I think it has a lot to do with people not having enough money. I’d love to support every creator I like but its simply not possible. If we’d all earn enough money the creators would earn more as well.
descartador@lemmy.eco.br 5 weeks ago
Sorry, but I don’t think what you said is correct. People love supporting others and it happens all the time to many creators. Sorry your experience was negative.

PeriodicallyPedantic@lemmy.ca 5 weeks ago
only we are allowed to steal these peoples content
I guess beware the danger of ToS that grants the platform unilateral rights to use your content they host; just because you don’t care what they can do with it now doesn’t mean some new tech won’t come along that lets them use your content in ways that horrify you
TriflingToad@sh.itjust.works 5 weeks ago
If you set VPN to some random country that isn’t the US it will let you in just fine lmao
or at least that worked the last time I had this issue, I use an account for recommendations so I only get this if I’m looking up something sketchy.
