saltnotsugar ( @saltnotsugar@lemm.ee ) 69•7 months agoI only use my programming for good. For instance Bat_Count.exe lets the user enter a number and then the Count from sesame street will count to this number and say “Ah ah ah!” at the end.

Wes_Dev ( @Wes_Dev@lemmy.ml ) 25•7 months ago“5E3”
SorryQuick ( @SorryQuick@lemmy.ca ) 4•7 months agoI assume they wrote it as 5000 and it got changed to 5E3 by the minifier as it saves a byte?
dan ( @dan@upvote.au ) 2•7 months agoYeah that’d be my guess. Minifiers squeeze every byte.
true
andfalse
get minified to!0
and!1
respectively. Wes_Dev ( @Wes_Dev@lemmy.ml ) 1•7 months agoNever heard of a minifier. It’s a brilliant idea though.
SorryQuick ( @SorryQuick@lemmy.ca ) 3•7 months agoMost websites use them. Smaller file -> less bandwidth -> lower costs.
onichama ( @onichama@feddit.de ) 15•7 months agoAs long as working around it is as easy as it is nowadays, I just think it’s funny.
cordlesslamp ( @cordlesslamp@lemmy.today ) 11•7 months agoFunny, or pathetic?
Probably both.
jeebus ( @jeebus@kbin.social ) 10•7 months agoI don’t understand why people don’t pay for YouTube premium. Best streaming service I pay for. No ad blockers required. When I watch YouTube at someone else’s house the ads drive me nuts.
RogueBanana ( @RogueBanana@lemmy.zip ) 27•7 months agoFuck google that’s why
Kayn ( @HKayn@dormi.zone ) 3•7 months agoThen why are you using Google’s services
Quik ( @Quik@infosec.pub ) 1•6 months agobecause it’s insanely difficult to get along completely without YouTube. Or if you happen to have some kind of business it’s easier said than done to “just not optimize” for Google products or “just not use Google services” like having a Google Maps entry. On a side note, even getting a privacy focused smartphone without using Google services and products is near to impossible (e.g. GrapheneOS only works on Pixel phones…)
flora_explora ( @flora_explora@beehaw.org ) 1•7 months agoNot that easy not to use the services of the big tech companies, is it? I don’t get why you would even give them extra money if their main profit is selling your data anyways. The only solution I see is to try to establish independent, people owned spaces/websites and so long the majority is under control of the big tech, don’t feed them your data and don’t feed them any money either.
Kayn ( @HKayn@dormi.zone ) English1•7 months agoI also want people-owned website to take off, but as of right now there is little incentive for people to host their videos on their own when YouTube does it for free and gets you a huge audience.
For now, I have to choose between participating in the adblocker cat-and-mouse game, or just getting my Turkish “friend” to purchase YT Premium and being done with it.
pokexpert30 ( @pokexpert30@lemmy.pussthecat.org ) 18•7 months ago-
it’s too expensive to begin with. 14$/month ? Netflix is more expensive to run and is cheaper. I would be fine paying 5€/month tho.

at this point YouTube made a point I was not an acceptable client for them (5s delay because I’m not using the company mandated browser) so I’m not supporting that.
You want my money Google? You already did. I bought a fucking pixel 8 pro because it’s a goddamn amazing phone. Do the same with YouTube.
flashgnash ( @flashgnash@lemm.ee ) 2•7 months agoIt’s not too bad if you do it in a family plan and split the cost. I pay under £5 a month for it
-
letsgo ( @letsgo@lemm.ee ) 10•7 months ago(a) because it’s too expensive, and (b) it didn’t take a lot of DDGing to find “why am I still getting ads with YT Premium” and it turns out there are a bunch of exceptions that the YTP page doesn’t tell you about.
dontblink ( @dontblink@feddit.it ) 5•7 months agoIf it was less expensive and provided some privacy i would probably happily pay for it.
Pat ( @Pat@kbin.run ) 5•7 months agoBecause adblocking is free and if done right not detectable. I haven’t had a single issue with ublock on youtube.
I used to pay for premium but they keep upping their prices. At this point ublock on computers + revanced on phone is best way to go. Premium features without paying a cent.
Kayn ( @HKayn@dormi.zone ) 2•7 months agoAgreed. I’m on a family plan and I find that I’m getting my money’s worth, plus saving myself the headache of participating in this cat-and-mouse game.
I’m willing to bet the people who use adblockers and say “fuck Google” in this thread never considered donating to the developers of said adblockers for letting them dodge YouTube’s fee.
Cyrus Draegur ( @Draegur@lemm.ee ) English2•7 months agoI’ve been having an excellent experience with premium as well. I like knowing that I’m directly materially contributing to the people I watch. The only problem I have with YouTube premium lately is that it keeps trying to suggest fucking 8 hours long music streams to my TV and seems as though it’s REFUSING to learn that I don’t want to see that shit unless I’m deliberately searching for it. Get that shit the FUCK outta my feed. Otherwise, it’s the way YouTube was meant to be used.
If I had my way though, I’d nuke YouTube’s ad system from orbit and replace it with this: for ads, NO VIDEO, NO SOUND, ONLY A SLIDE SHOW, CONTAINING ONLY TEXT. 15 Slides or 15 Seconds, MAXIMUM, whichever runs out first. If the user clicks anywhere but the product link, it advances the slide or closes the ad. PERIOD.

Freetube? Re-vanced?
