It's a thankless job

It would be stupid, but very funny if someone created a YouTube bot for Piped links...

[–] konalt 54 points 1 year ago

They'd get into an endless loop of responding to each other. Just a regular internet conversation then

Like when the reddit lotr bots get stuck in a loop.

What is the etiquette for posting YT links in this scenario? If the content is from YT I'd prefer to post the canonical link instead of a mirror that may go down or may get hugged to death. If you'd rather view on a mirror I'd suggest you use e.g. LibRedirect. Does this make sense? Are there better ideas? I'd like to promote non-YT frontends but am not sure what the best option here would be.

[–] jackoneill 41 points 1 year ago

I would say just post the YT link and let folks do what they want with it. When someone only posts a piped link I don’t bother clicking because they are very unreliable for me and I pay for YouTube so I like to just use it and not deal with the bs.

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

I can't imagine there'd be any damage to posting two or more links: the YT one, a piped one, an invidious one, etc... All sides of the conversation that matter are covered.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I found Piped to be way too slow. Use Freetube instead.

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

I'm vibing with invidious

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

I blocked it because Piped never seems to work.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Do content creators get views if I watch a video through any of the front-ends?

[–] [email protected] 14 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Content creators get almost nothing from ads. You're better off donating $5 to their buymeacoffee or patreon or similar, etc.

[–] Noodle07 9 points 1 year ago

Content creators barely get anything anyway

[–] jose1324 9 points 1 year ago

Imo piped fucking sucks and the page barely loads

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago

That's why I blocked it.

It's a meme, not a support ticket 😅

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

Have you tried turning it off and on again?

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Idk, might need the little guy if uBlock loses the war on YouTube.

Newpipe uses the piped API

That's great for mobile. Desktop I don't like using piped.video because it's ugly and slow so I just grab link from there then use yt-dlp + mpv.

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

newpipe is only on android...
