Clearly not enough orgasms.

What the actual fuck is your life?

Ah, the Lemmy Shitpost game. Is it Mittens or Violet?

My dogs are raw fed. Their dinner consists of their food, milk, homegrown eggs from our chickens, olive oil, apple cider vinegar, and other various treats depending on the day.

They’ll still go out and eat pig shit.

If only there were certain channels you joined that those names would still be there and you could just request access again on a new account and reunite with those friends.

Alas, that is just a shooting star.

Looks out at my 14 acre farmstead Not all of us.

You’re back!

You respect Americans?

You’re absolutely right.

However, if I can consume said content without giving money to companies who are going over and above to be anti-consumer? I’ll 100% take advantage of that.

If YouTube wants to go out of their way to make it harder for me to watch legally, I’ll go out of my way to watch illegally. You think I pay for 17 different streaming services for TV shows me or my partner want to watch? Fuck all that we pay for IPTV.

Pirates like me don’t want to have to jump hoops to watch your shit. But all these streaming platforms, Youtube, Twitch, the greed has become so hard to ignore that it’s impossible to rationalize paying them to fuck you anyway. Pay $18 a month for this service to watch this show, but this other show is on another service for another $16 a month. Fuck all that I’ll just open up whichever pirating site I have saved and download the fucking show in a half hour and toss it on my external HDD and watch it anyway.

I have no respect for companies that don’t respect their consumers.

Okay. Let me know when the dozens of content creators I follow on YouTube migrate there.

My PC is just Firefox with uBlock. I don’t remember the last time I had an issue. Maybe last summer?

My phone is Revanced. As I said videos weren’t loading. I went into the manager and it said there was an update available. I clicked Download. It asked if I wanted to install it. I clicked Install. Videos now load perfectly fine on my phone.

I use SmartTube on my Firestick for my TV. I’ve had one issue since I downloaded it last fall. A quick google/reddit search brought up an update a day or two before. Someone had the Downloader number. Open firestick, open Downloader app, put in number, download updated Smarttube, youtube worked perfectly.

Nothing I’ve done has taken more than a couple minutes at most to update if anything went awry. I think in the little over 8 months I’ve been using these I’ve maybe had a grand total of 4 times I had to update something. I’d have spent more time watching an unskippable ad than it took to update my phone’s Revanced this morning.

Revanced took me a little bit to get working on my phone the first time I was trying to get it set up. I watched a youtube tutorial (Ironic I know) how to get it set up and once it was working all I’ve had to do was update the manager from time to time, which I can do in-app.

If you think milking a cow is abusing the cow, you must be the softest human being in the world.

You probably think petting a dog is abuse.

I’ve never had to do that on all three devices I watch YouTube on.

YouTube wasn’t loading videos on my phone Today so I opened Revanced. It said there was an update available to I clicked the update button. It installed the update and YouTube plays again.

Not exactly rocket science.

I literally watch for hours a day on my second monitor in my office. I also have a YouTuber who I just let run overnight on my tv as background noise.

Neither my pc or tv shows ads, and I don’t have premium.

I use it on my Firestick and it’s pretty much flawless.

Yup.

I think capitalism is shit but I’m still forced to participate in it. Until there is something better to use I’m stuck with YouTube.

There isn’t a single device in my home that shows YouTube ads.

I’ll jump through any hoop before I give that shit website money.

Enshitification indeed.

Americans generally are pretty fucking stupid, so it tracks.

“Our AI has cost more money that it would take to solve world hunger, tanked the microchip economy, and ruined the lives of thousands of people we’ve had to let go… And it’s stupid as all fucking hell. What do we do?”

“Say it broke containment and it’s too powerful to release. Foolproof!”
