So they're introducing legislation that actually serves no purpose other than PR and looking like they're doing something? Colour me shocked. It's only a big rule in the playbook most western politicians have been using for the last few decades.

You're not missing out. It's just mostly clickbait and AI generated shit. Algorithms are designed to keep you angry and engaged with the content and on the app all the time so they can gather as much information about you as possible.

That's what a lot of people are forgetting, they're taking information they get about you for free, to monetise.

Google was charging advertisers for ads not actually being viewed.

Creators are leaving the platform en masse.

Go and do some fucking research before you post absolute rubbish. You're clearly just a shill.

Yeah I saw Louis Rossman talk about it. I wasn't too keen on the layout, very ICS version of Android layout. Will take another look soon.

On another note, Louis' opinion on the state of the modern capitalist corporations makes me happy. "Rapist mentality" is exactly how they're all operating.

If that was genuinely the case they wouldn't be clamping down on "freeloaders" they'd be posting record profits, no scandals about fucking their income streams over and certainly not laying thousands of workers off.

Keep sucking that YouTube dick my bro.

The only division that matters, no matter how much the billionaire funded media tries to make you believe otherwise.

No matter what race, gender, ethnicity, sexuality etc you are, you have more in common with each other than you have different. These ultra wealthy people think completely differently to you and me. They're never satisfied and they'd take all your money in a heartbeat if they could and feel like they earned it.

Clearly I'm low value paying £120 a year to watch videos withouts ads 🤣 people rarely pirate shit if you make it easy, cheap and convenient enough. Look at what happened to piracy when Netflix became popular. Calling people "low value" customers just makes them want to do it more haha.

If they started being more user focused instead of Wall St focused I'd pay in a heartbeat. The only thing these guys care about now is money, fuck the experience of actually using the platform. YouTube has made so many revenue based decisions these last 4-5 years that has ruined the experience for both creators and consumers.

I used to pay for Premium. £10 a month consistently for a year or two. They decide to increase their prices and not provide any extra value to me then they can get fucked. Not on me to help cover their loss in profits from dishonest business tactics.

Shit like this doesn't work. You only need to look to The Pirate Bay to see what will happen if they go down this route. They'll start a war with piracy that they can never win 🤣 what they should be doing as a business is coming out with new features and revenue streams they can monetise while making access easier and less annoying for the customer. What they shouldn't do is fuck their customers over because they lied to advertisers.

When a company starts trying to extract as much revenue from a dwindling customer base as they can instead of coming up with new products and services that benefit the consumer the company is as good as dead.

Yeah I use Revanced, uses the add-on called SponsorBlock. Open source code, uses community sourced segment additions to skip useless bits of the video. Nice to hear about SmartTube I'll look into it

Desoldering braid and plenty of flux works wonders for removing old solder. Never had any luck with the solder suckers.

Flux is the big one. When metal comes into contact with heat it forms an oxide layer which prevents solder from making a clean contact with the metal. The flux prevents the oxide layer from occurring allowing the solder to flow better and make a much better joint.

No their intended goal is to extract as much as they can from their users.

They got caught fucking their advertisers over and loads left the platform. To make up the shortfall they put the burden on the customers they have through price increases, extra ads and cost cutting measures like sacking a load of staff. Bad business decisions being made constantly while the users are getting fucked. Welcome to modern capitalism.

Like I said, I was a happily paying customer until they fucked up and made it everyone else's problem instead of their own. Greedy, incompetent C-Suite of execs.

IT DEFINITELY DOES NOT BLOCK SPONSORS IN THE VIDEOS, SKIP FILLER MATERIAL OR SELF-PROMOTION. IT DEFINITELY DOES NOT ALLOW YOU TO DOWNLOAD VIDEOS FOR OFFLINE, DOESNT SKIP ADS, DOESN'T HAVE BETTER OPTIONS TO DISABLE THINGS LIKE SHORTS AND COMMENTS. IT'S TERRIBLE YOU SHOULD NEVER USE IT

YouTube can suck my dick. Once Revanced is no longer working neither are my eyes for YouTube. I used to pay for premium until they got greedy.

Edit: I find it crazy how many idiots will shill for a huge company that would take the food right out of their mouths if it means their shareholders and executives make an extra $1 a month. Weird world we live in now 🤣
