Spoofing Chrome magically makes this problem go away. The slow down is 5 secs according to the video.

Update 1: Safari faces the same treatment

Update 2: Google confirms 5 sec delays for ad-block user

I dont believe this will have the desired affect Google thinks it will. I, personally, will never buy Premium or switch to Chrome without an AD block. If anything, I will just download via linux or just not watch Youtube anymore.

[–] [email protected] 58 points 1 year ago

That's the fucking spirit. Here, I'm joining you. Fuck Google.

[–] doink 37 points 1 year ago

I have been a premium user for years. Mostly because I was using Google music before. With all this crap they are pulling, I cancelled. I cannot support this anymore.

[–] [email protected] 20 points 1 year ago (3 children)

Ever since I discovered Piped and LibreTube, I never looked back.And I used premium for years.

[–] DuskyRo 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

If only there was an easy way to selfhost piped or viewtube...

I swear there would be more instances if they made an easy step by step guide but I guess that's life when you choose FOSS...

[–] Flying_Hellfish 4 points 1 year ago

I'm not sure if this post was /s or not, but ViewTube is actually pretty easy to self host if you have a docker host in your current environment. They even provide a docker compose example on the wiki.

Piped is just too inconsistent for me. I gave it a solid month or two, but half the time I open it up none of the instances are loading any videos. Eventually I gave up and looked into other options, ended up using FreeTube.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Freetube on desktop, Newpipe on android. This is the way.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Revanced would like to know your location

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

This is what I do as well

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

It does have it's issues, can't deny that. Can use LibreTube as Android app and 99.9% of my youtube viewing is on mobile

[–] Aermis 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

How does libretube compare with revanced?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Libretube is a totally different app whereas Revanced is just some patches on top of the official YouTube app, so the feature sets are going to vary a lot between the two. Libretube doesn't let you log in to a Google account at all (but it does support importing a subscription list).

Any method for blocking ads / patching chromecast? My kids and I do the majority of our YT surfing from the couch.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Not that I know of, sorry! It looks like third-party apps like Newpipe don't support Chromecast :/

[–] Bernie_Sandals 2 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Could someone please give me a rundown of how these work/if they have mobile apps? I've been paying for premium pretty much since Vanced was killed (and also before I found Vanced) and really the only thing that's stopped me from using a YouTube mirror is the lack of good mobile applications.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

I found this is good explanation: https://lemm.ee/comment/4966310

LibreTube is on F-Droid for an Android app, pretty sure there is something for iOS as well but not sure. It hs its issues but I manage. Set up low tier patreon for some content creators from my "premium budget" too.

[–] Bernie_Sandals 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

That's actually quite interesting, thank you, I'll definitely have to look into that more

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Try newpipe through f-droid

[–] [email protected] 13 points 1 year ago

It's possibly dedicated to messing around for people testing firefox after the news.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

To be clear, is this delay skipped for subscribers?

[–] zzzz 4 points 1 year ago

*effect

But, yes, me too.

I watch interesting vids people link back on occasion but have left it as a service I would browse and engage with and let me tell you, life got a lot better.
