Mac ( @Mac@mander.xyz ) English9•8 months agoYouTube slowly trying to push me off their platform.
I will quit YouTube before watching ads.
TheFriar ( @TheFriar@lemm.ee ) English8•8 months agoI fuckin knew it! I could’ve sworn this was happening. I would switch to brave to watch something and would be able to no problem. Fuckin bastards.
Bolle ( @derbolle@feddit.de ) English8•8 months agothe reddit link is trying to force me to log in. Has reddit changed its policies again?
MiddledAgedGuy ( @MiddledAgedGuy@beehaw.org ) English4•8 months agoIt seems the post here is linked to reddit’s sign in page. If you click the hacker news link, then the reddit link from there, it’ll get you there. Or use this link https://reddit.com/r/youtube/comments/17z8hsz/youtube_has_started_to_artificially_slow_down/
Sekoia ( @Sekoia@lemmy.blahaj.zone ) English7•8 months agoHuh. I had noticed that.
slapdasher ( @slapdasher@beehaw.org ) English6•8 months agoAm paying for yt premium (grandfathered from Google Play music.) Wonder if they’re doing that to paying customers.
Linnce ( @Linnce@beehaw.org ) English2•8 months agoI don’t think so, I have premium and use firefox and so far no problems
Akasazh ( @Akasazh@feddit.nl ) English5•7 months agoThe team at the ublock origin sub have found a filter for ublock that disables it:

Vendul ( @Vendul@feddit.de ) English5•8 months agoIf Youtube isn’t allowed to check my browser if I use ublock origin. Is it allowed to check what browser I use and restrict curtain things?
MiddledAgedGuy ( @MiddledAgedGuy@beehaw.org ) English2•8 months agoI’m not an expert in such things but I believe ublock origin only filters what comes through to your browser. It doesn’t do anything to stop your browser from sending a correct user agent.
Pleb ( @pleb_maximus@feddit.de ) English4•8 months agoI had noticed too. Although I mostly use FreeTube by now I am a tab hoarder and if I open a YouTube tab with a video in Firefox it does take a few seconds until the page is displayed correctly after the tab has finished loading.
JokeDeity ( @JokeDeity@lemm.ee ) English1•8 months agoI’ve also noticed Revanced needs updated pretty often or it gets fucked. I really don’t want to have to switch to an alternative that doesn’t allow me to sign in to my account, but I refuse to give in to Alphabets demands.
Mananasi ( @Mananasi@feddit.nl ) English1•7 months agoThat’s interesting, I’ve only had to update revanced once so far in about a year of use. Would it differ per phone?
