I’m going to continue missing out I guess. Youtube isn’t the problem, it’s videos. It used to be that if you wanted to learn something, you could just read it. Now everything is a video. I hate it.
Thanks. Excellent read, and it took me less than a minute to get through instead of the 20 it would have taken to watch (assuming I remembered to by the time I’m somewhere I can watch a video).
Strong agree. Looking for help for a specific step in a process sucks balls. Nothing is searchable anymore, you have to skip through the video in the hopes of seeing the person do two clicks you’re missing and that’s it. Even worse are the slideshow videos.
Sorry I don’t click YT, unless it’s really worth it. What is the video about?
Peertube mirror: https://peertube.wtf/w/tkde6SyxaM64kMcxYWFn3E
i have no affiliation with this but i recommend peertubeify. it automatically or links to the same video on peertube

+, peertube has a feature to auto-upload YT videos based on links too :)
Thx once again. Great video, well worth listening to.
no problem :D
thx, a lot! I will watch it asap :)
i was like you for years. YEARS!
newpipe (or some other front end) saved me from missing absolutely everything

It’s a video because it’s a TED Talk (not a TED Essay). However, they do provide transcripts: https://www.ted.com/talks/carole_cadwalladr_this_is_what_a_digital_coup_looks_like/transcript

May I ask why the strict yt avoidance? Have no intentions of persuading you either way, just curious.
It’s a personal choice, based on personal priorities.
Google
They’re now trying to force people to log in just to watch any videos. Including embedded videos.
I really wish people would use alternative platforms.
