I still end up using the Youtube app on my phone sometimes and I’m absolutely floored at the audacity of even making the first video an ad. Total, absolute, utter bullshit.
I have a Google phone, which has YouTube embedded on it. I can’t remove it. I had to disable it, then tell my phone to redirect all YouTube links to my browser. Now I can block ads again!
You can remove it, with adb. Rather simple when it’s set up.
Yeah, SCIENCE BITCH!
If it keeps going past that date, will there be -1 videos on screen?
You have to drag and drop a video onto the page in order to use the site
You jest, but if conservatives have their way, you’ll soon have to verify your ID by uploading a video every time you visit the site (if not logged in). Even for non-adult content!
Because the reason for the ID isn’t to “protect the children” or anything like that. It’s about control. Conservatives want the power to decide what people get to see and ID verification systems are just a small part of that.
And the single video that isn’t a “Sponsored” ad is still from Red Bull, and basically an ad.
Ah that explains why my subscription page has all the videos I haven’t watched at the top and all the videos regardless of watched status right below so the same video is listed twice on the same screen on a slow day.
Now if they could just make sure when I open the app/channel that I land on the subscription screen instead of recommended that would be a real QOL improvement.
