Fuck YouTube

Seems like there are already alternatives in place , thx to the non-laziness of our familiya. APN. Though, teaching / sharing safe practices to those ignorant or just less fortunate {IMO online awareness/coding/ or just not looking upwards when you know cameras are everywhere)...can plant seeds of change.
Alert,Aware,Involved,

 

Fuck 'em. Big tech/ Capitalist scum/ Data-feudalists fuck up everything they can get their grubby hands on. And there's fuck all transparency, such as in your case, so you're left to keep guessing.
Also rather suspicious that they want your ID number. Maybe that's "standard practice", I wouldn't know, but I'd also be reluctant to give out that info to the likes of Youtube.

 

If I had a Tesla battery and a server I could create Instastupid.org. ......but that would probably be tedious, if I actually did the work.

 

definitely insta$tupid

 

Great that you found an alternative. And yes I can. After having to get a new computer (because even my email was losing more & more functionality) I can now access all those websites I wasn't able to before.
EDIT: It kinda sucks a bit that I was prompted to log in when trying to like one of your videos. I can understand why you'd need to log in to comment, but to "like" something? But at least they're not asking me for my ID number lol

 

Sometimes u need another acount user to vouch for you & sometimes 1 is not enough....IME

 

What if Bakunin is your favorite anarchist though? Then I guess you'd be screwed

 

IDK if I'm the only one who's noticed this but in the last couple months various linked YouTube vids are not displaying in various posts & sites. The window for the video is there but instead of the vid being in the window there's a message saying Video Unavilable. The vids are still on YouTube. The browser, device, & internet provider do not seem to make a difference. It's the reason I haven't been posting in the "What are you listening to?" thread because there's a high likelyhood that the vids will not display & some vids other members posted are not displaying either. It seems that certain users & vids are extremely unlucky.

It's like the executives running YouTube have made such an insane amount of money that they're too busy living up their rich lifestyles to give a sh!t if YouTube keeps going or not. Or they think that YouTube has gotten so big that there is no way an altnerative will rise up to take it's place so there's no reason to invest any money back into it.

 

H8 digi cookies...until I forget .

 

Miraculously, since about a week ago all those previously "unavailable" videos magically appeared again for me but I didn't change anything in my cookies settings. They're not set to delete after every session. I can still see every video now (don't wanna jinx myself though).

On my old PC on the other hand I did have the cookies set to delete after every session and that made no difference at all - I still couldn't see most of those embedded videos. But if deleting cookies works for you and other people, that's great.
