Youtube stopped working for me today when using uBlock Origin in Firefox or Vivaldi with anti-ad enabled. (lemmy.world)

I wonder which will happen first: I'll quit watching youtube because the platform becomes too much of a pain in the ass for me to bother with, or I'll quit watching youtube because of how difficult it is to find content I actually want to watch.

I've got a few Patreon shows that host video content on YouTube, but because they're directly linked and not monetized through YouTube they're pretty friendly to visit.

I do need a better way to find streamable music. YouTube Music has been a miserable experience, but it has the largest library short of Spotify, which is also miserable.

I found YTM to have more niche music selections vs Spotify.

You could always try plexamp if you want to self-host.

Functionally it works (barring technical difficulties)

But it means building up a large personal library, when what I'd prefer is a browsable public music library.
