New youtube layout?
(lemmy.world)
Hey, I was browsing youtube in private mode, and out of nowhere it started looking like this, I really hope this doesn't go through lolol...
(the black square bottom right is probably an ad being blocked.
I've been getting very close to ditching YouTube. This change showed up a few weeks ago for me and pushed me a bit further.
If they succeed in inserting ads into the video stream I'll bail alltogether. I can fit a subscription to Brilliant, Dropout, and several creator Patreons into the cost of a YouTube Red subscription, and I won't have to deal with these attention-optimizing UI changes.
You can get YouTube premium for like three bucks if you VPN into certain countries. Ukraine worked for me.
Yes, let's abuse a country's poor economy so the service providers eventually raise the price in the region as a direct countermeasure and fuck over the real citizens that needed that cheaper regional pricing.
That's a good point but you don't have to be an asshole about it
I'm sorry for my previous tone, it's just that this subject makes me irrationally angry and I acted without forethought. In retrospect I shouldn't have written what I did, I apologize, have a nice day.
Thank you. The Ukraine server seems to have been removed from service for my vpn anyway
I think he was very polite, considering.
