YouTube is up to nefarious things!

  • Dear Creators,

    We'll keep this brief.

    1. YouTube is testing the requirement that enforces log in to watch videos
    2. Now Youtube will forcefully insert ads into your videos

    We already know that YouTube sucks, but this new experimentation is next level stupid.

    In oder to avoid this stupidity, we recommend the following:
    1. If you're creator, uploading your videos directly to Odysee will retain the integrity of your content for your community. The process is simple and we recommend trying it.
    2. If you're a viewer, have you heard of our Odysee browser extension? You can add this plugin to any Chrome based browser and it will redirect you to watch on Odysee anytime you see a video that's on YouTube.

    We hope these issues do not become significant and we will stay vigilant to ensure your experience is not compromised.

    You can support us by mentioning to the creators you enjoy that they should consider uploading to Odysee directly, and by sharing the Watch on Odysee pluginwith users.

    Best wishes

    PS Some big updates coming within a couple of weeks :)

      • Well, Odysee.com was founded by (((Jeremy Kauffman))), so I don't think they'll be spelling it JewTube. Odysee.com was more than happy to censor Black Crimes Matter.

    • Simple solution: just copy the URL and download the Youtube video for offline viewing.

      "Won't that hurt the creators' ad revenue?" At this point, screw the creators. They're always bitching about Youtube's policies, but refuse to migrate or expand to other platforms. Plenty of ways for viewers to contribute to creators (Patreon, Odysee Memberships, etc.). Ad-revenue has become nothing more than "internet wellfare" where anyone can get money just for uploading a video, regardless of quality or value.

      • Remember when it was actually YOUtube not CorporateTube, everyone begging for money and advertising more scams than on TV? Yeah, fuck em all, no one is worth watching who follows the modern YT (wrote TV at first, whats the difference at this point?) formula.

        Log in to reply242
      • Creators don't migrate to other platforms, because moving to other platforms that are not Google related, are against the terms of service, and can get you banned from them. YouTube has the largest possible viewing area, the most creators, and the most video uploads daily compared to much smaller spaces like Odysee and Rumble. YT = More rules, but more views.

      • I think you misunderstand. The new youtube ads will be baked into the videos during the upload's processing, so downloading the video with yt-dlp or something similar is still going to download those baked in ads

        Log in to reply161
      • why do that when you can just set up a proxy on a Linux box and have yt-dl handle anything you send as it parses links your send it via ssh?

    • If you need to use JEWTube, use something like FreeTube for PC or NewPipe for mobile to get around ads while still getting to follow channels. Its all tracked and censored judeo-filth anyways.

      Support free speech platforms like Odysee as they are our last bastions of open dialogue and freedom to voice truth we have.

      • This is about server-side ad injection directly into the video file. Ad-blockers won't work in this case.

        Log in to reply140
      • Ublock origin works well for me too, some "interruptions" in video playback apparently caused by youtube aside.

        Regarding alt tech Bitchute is another alternative that allows private viewing (no private information needed for an account) and virtually no censorship, or at least it does for now as it has effectively been bought off by venture capitalists recently..

        I am very happy to see this site being built on an open source code to preserve freedom of speech going forward (I assume this is still the case?), but am a bit surprised to see the relatively small amount of content creators here. Is this due to some censorship on this site discouraging people, or coming along after sites like Bitchute and Rumble, or something else? I would be curious to know as this seems strange and I don't really want to mess around with a site that would censor outside of extreme violations of decency or legal reasons.

        If everything here is good (as it seems so far), maybe it would be good if the site and people here with youtube accounts would email those they like on youtube and invite them to this site? The site could even make a contest of it with awards of some sort to those getting a lot of content creators (and others) signing up, and maybe even scrape the email of content creators there and send them an invite themselves?

      • I was told that Bitchute was censorship free, Post Covid. I started to host videos to break the Genocidal Covid narratives and then I discovered that my comments on my own content went missing. After that, I deleted ALL my content from the platform and moved here. I also have hosted a few things on Rumble because I enjoy their comment system, but I have observed videos going missing there as well.

        To this day, I have yet to see anyone who remains impartial with opinions, observations and content. Seems that they all Censor in one way or another. Internet is getting very bad with book burning the last four years, although it has been bad for the past 25 years at least.

No explanation or exchange possible with Github, and a repo now totally unreachable from any other account (but you can only see this if you have another account...). I did a search on Google, and I was far from being alone in this situation. I did some research about GitHub and I found this https://www.bbc.com/news/technology-55704932. Quite ironical...

        This way you can make Ad revenue while stealing users from YouTube.
        Ingenious actually.

        I do not expect that YouTube will be around for much longer. Just like with Mainstream Media imploding, people are smart and see through the BS. I refuse to watch TV or listen to the radio any more. I cannot forget what they did Post Covid with the lies and what they continue to do with pushing narratives to support globalist agenda's.

        It's sickening. Content creators who upload purely out of compassion shouldn't be forced to have that crap on their videos. Plus, being non-monetized means you don't even get any of the revenue from those ads, I think (I'm not an expert, that's just a logical assumption).

      If you unironically use the term "JewTube" you've already marked every thought you've ever had as completely worthless and someone who should be ignored. There's about 80 trillion REAL reasons to hate YouTube and yet you chose the one that makes it VERY clear what you REALLY mean by "Free Speech".

I WANT to, and it sounds like a small deal (manually clicking the miniplayer off that is), but the lack of functions (especially small and "obvious" ones) is still dragging it down somewhat. As is I still probably use SUCKtube 95% of the time... which sucks (especially with the commenting as they've gone all in on shadow bans, their ass filter, arbitrary 24 hour bans etc).

      Edit: basically the blueprint is there. All you need to do is copy their functions and then just NOT be evil...

        Strangely, local copies of the data also mysteriously disappeared of my computer as well. I since have two copies of everything, one offsite, so I can audit what files changed. Since doing that, I haven't had issues with my files going missing, but my videos do go missing on this platform.

      • I love odysee. It has the very best comment engine of any video platform. The only negative is all the flat-earthers, no-virusers and jew-haters here.

      • I honestly find that statement offensive. I would prefer a platform restrict mainstream media. They have enough money to manipulate information, they can develop their own platform. We all know how TV worked for them, lets not make Odysee one of their platforms which can be exploited to program the masses.

      • Possibly a lot of the people in the national and local news media are Jewish (no hate here), and they hesitate to come on a channel with the agents spouting Jew hate

    • One problem with telling creators about odysee is that the YouTube algorithms censor the word odysee from the comments, so the comments are never seen by others.

      the algorithm censorships all across big tech platforms have been becoming more and more draconian and sporadic

      • Interesting, is this when commenting on others videos, your own videos or both?
        I make comment a lot on my videos on YT so I may look into this.

        Edit: Can you see my comment on this video? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0ErRnvnXKEs
