Not watching a YT video.

Anyone got a synopsis?

[–] mrchampion -5 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (2 children)

You could always use Invidious or Piped (instance list here) to avoid using YT directly if you want. You won't get any ads or anti-adblocker bullshit with Invidious, so I usually use that. I'm not sure about Piped, but it seems good too. Unless your point is to simply stop using YT for anything, in which case just ignore what I said.

EDIT: To the now 8 of you who downvoted me, just, why? No, seriously, why. If you downvote me, please at least tell me why you are instead of downvoting and leaving. It makes me anxious to think that I was a dick or spreading misinformation or just being rude and not even noticing it, and would much rather have someone say something to me so I can at least know what people don't like. That's not to say I would agree with it, I might not, but I'd rather know what the problem is so I can agree or disagree.

I think it's the fact that not everything needs a 20 minute video. There's a lot of topics that I'm interested in but skip because I don't have 20, 30, 40, 60 minutes for it.

That makes sense. I just thought he had something against Youtube (and for good reason), since he only said "Not watching a YT video" instead of "Not watching a 20min video".
