  • They are a trillion dollar company, they can afford to give some slack on this issue that maybe affects 5% of their users

  • And as with all things that help average people, like the proposed universal dental, it will be killed the instant the conservacrooks get back in

  • And its looking like conservicrooks are gong to get back in soon which means all talk of this plan will die the second that happens

  • ...temporarily it might help

  • ! Fck up google! Google is evil!

    but... they specifically told me they were not evil

  • It doubt its as big of a money sink as we are being told.. sounds like google PR working overtime there to me

  • so it being free forever is completely unsustainable.

    Well they own a lot of the infrastructure that makes youtube possible, which means they are keeping their own costs a lot lower than people think. I believe a lot of the 'its unsustainable!!', or 'it makes no money!!' rhetoric we are hearing is come straight from the google PR dept.

  • If you’re using UBlock Origin do the following:

    Go to settings. Go to Filter Lists. Click purge all caches. Click update now.

    That’s it, this message should disappear entirely.

    I think there is going to be a time when ublock alone cannot simply program their way out of this, they will need help eventually from a completely different approach like anti ablock killers or some other app that hide the blocker itself from detection

  • holy crap that one works great!

    (youtube has come to your house and taped your mouth shut)

  • farside.link/piped/

    excellent I will update the script

  • They'll have to find a way to shut down all the piped instances too.. its a losing battle for them quite honestly as people will always find ways to pirate their signal as people always have found ways around stuff like this. At the same time they take a very loud, very smart minority of their users and turn them into pure haters, for no real benefit to themselves.

  • Its worth noting that piped.kavin.rocks is getting hammered right now, but it seems to be the most reliable instance going at the moment
