it even happens with paid Amazon prime now. I just started a movie, got an ad. Stopped it and restarted it, got the same ad.

Big tech is making SNAFU a reality for streaming.

Don't happen on pirating websites, I was told

[-] SomeoneElseMod@feddit.uk 15 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

I heard it certainly does happen on pirate streaming sites on iPad 😒

[-] kratoz29@lemm.ee 9 points 1 year ago

Pirating things on an iPad is one of the worst ways to do it, I hate the workaround we have with Stremio...

I'd like the Jailbreak scene to make a great comeback, so it can help with all these annoyances... Or Apple widely supports sideloading at least.

I installed the newer version of revanced on my SO’s phone and after a while it started just like… stopping videos out of nowhere. By that point I forgot how to reinstall it, and didnt feel like relearning all that, so unfortunately it’s back to ad city :/

[-] gridleaf@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

Updates should have fixed that issue. I was getting it for a while too.

In my experience libretube with default instances is bad, I couldn't even watch a single video without buffering every 3 minutes for a minute.

With a selfhosted instance however, libretube is perfect

This is the GOAT IMHO, it is worth it even if you pay for YT premium.

[-] bitwolf@lemmy.one 4 points 1 year ago

Thankfully YouTube outs itself with the "most replayed" graph in the video timeline.

You can just skip right to the peak which is always right after the sponsor bit.

Only a jabroni would have a laptop on the kitchen table while they eat

[-] AncientFutureNow@lemmy.world 13 points 1 year ago

Gatekeeping where someone can use thier laptop in their own home seems wack. Although, I'd advise to not use it in the shower.

[-] RaoulDook@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

Only a jabroni would think that was wack

Not using an adblocker?

[-] RampantParanoia2365@lemmy.world 15 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

...why would I watch YouTube for entertainment though? Probably an episode of Doctor Who to catch up before the 23rd. Also, I own a television.

[-] echodot@feddit.uk 19 points 1 year ago

It's still baffles me that people still say that YouTube has been around for decades now. There is all sorts of interesting content creators. It is an old family guy reruns.

If you think YouTube is boring that's on you for not finding interesting content, and watching crap instead which means that the algorithm just offers you more crap.

Find what you're interested in and watch it and then the algorithm will start recommending other stuff along the same lines maybe subscribe to a few channels I think I'm literally subscribed to hundreds of channels. I barely ever watched stuff the algorithm suggests any more because I found pretty much a constant stream of good quality content creators.

[-] daemoz@lemmy.world 15 points 1 year ago

Far more interesting youtube creators than almost everything on television, esp. after the writer strike. Less commercials, skip capability, que capability. Television has been obsolete for many of us for over a decade. I honestly don't understand why anyone still pays for cable unless they are over 70.

[-] bitwolf@lemmy.one 8 points 1 year ago

Personally I prefer documentaries, educational content and investigative journalism. YouTube excels for these genres, especially since PBS is primarily using YouTube these days.

[-] XiELEd@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year ago

Idk but I just realised my idea of entertainment are video essays, free online class courses, educational videos, movie critiques and cat videos

Nothing, I own a room big enough for a TV.

[-] Karyoplasma@discuss.tchncs.de 28 points 1 year ago

So you're watching ads on your TV instead?

Nothing like ad blocking and good ol piracy

[-] HiddenLayer5@lemmy.ml 4 points 1 year ago

what are you watching first?

Extremely presumptuous that it will be a video on your platform, YouTube.
