Crap I just opened youtube today and it looks like I was chosen. The ads load like normal videos and it sucks. My brain actually glitched for a couple of seconds when I opened a video because I wasn't used to seeing an ad. I dunno if there's any chance uBO can even counter this.
Welp, restarted my laptop and I'm off the testing list so can't replicate (unless I turn off uBO of course). But thanks, this will be handy if it happens again.
I know Google has a terrible reputation for killing their projects but this one is just an experiment from Area 120 so it's not surprising or terrible that they're killing it or weren't advertising it.
I knew it was only a matter of time before alternative YouTube clients started getting banned. You can't "stick it to Google" while still relying on their servers to host the videos. We need to support Lemmy-like services that are distributed and host their own content and communities for video.
That's peertube, right? A slight problem is that a lot of the popular content is only on YouTube for the money. Better patronage or sponsoring systems would help with that. For ones not in it for the money, knowing there's a solid service with community would probably suffice.
I'm not asking that. I'm asking you to find the good content when it is there and wetch that instead. I do watch youtube when I'm out of interesting things on peertube but peertube gets first obportunity for my eyes.
TL;DR: $61 a year, more than half the cost of a "lifetime" Windows Home license.
After two years of extended updates, you've paid more than you would have for a license for Windows 11 Home. After 3 years, you're less than $20 away from having paid for Windows 11 Pro.
Hmmm, I could have sworn this was also the consumer pricing, but going back over the last few articles, it looks like you're correct that they haven't specified the consumer pricing yet.
No one is buying because it requires certain hardware features that only recent computers have.
Even my 2019 laptop isn't eligible for the free upgrade without some hack to install.
What's the point of the regional locks, password sharing blocking, disallowing of third-party clients and especially DRM when at the end of the day I can just type any movie into my torrent client and hours later it would be on my disk shared with everyone in family with access to my Jellyfin instance?
I really want to legally watch, but if their will is to disengurage me so much then okey.
Curious to see how they approach this with their partnership with Verizon. I get it through a family plan, seems like it will be impossible for them to regulate who is/isn't part of a phone plan, since that could legitimately change at any time. Imagine they won't pursue it.
They could still limit the number of simultaneously logged in devices for a family plan. Verizon would know how many lines are associated with the plan.
Idk how I feel about this whole thing. We had the bundle for a while and then they added another standalone Hulu subscription on top. And tried to convince us that's what we wanted/asked for.
I don't even want to pay for one subscription, let alone twice for the same one.
Last year I found that there was a bundle. But I had to sign up for it via Hulu. Now I still get billed for both. At one point I thought that I was over paying, but I found that the Hulu bundle reduces my Disney sub price to add up to the bundle price.
I think. All I know is that it seems more complicated than it should be.
I wonder what deals these companies have. Like can anyone buy 1,000 subs at a reduced price and hook up their customers? This combining services with subscription thing is funny.... but it would be real funny if your weed dealer offered you a free account as long as you bought weed from him every month. Stop buying weed and suddenly your Netflix is cutoff.
Honestly, I just pull videos from Youtube to watch later. I don't actually watch anything on Youtube. I do wonder if there's an upcoming replacement for Youtube like there was for Twitter.
