That's great
Good riddance

Hey
Fuck YouTube
This is the way 🫡
They’re really getting annoying. Browsers are trying to force you to sign in to watch videos now and the fucking captchas are out of control.
kind21 🙏
that’s the way!
Grayjay.app is a good alternative on Android
Combines all sources (Youtube, Rumble, Odessey, etc.). No ads or tracking. Open source.
Yeah, try to force sign in, annoying with functionality for no reason (can't lock phone if you don't pay, wtf), ads up the yinyang, hide comments, push slop, ...
Rumble is going enable zaps in December if everything goes well. Maybe worth to consider?
Network effects are insane. I can’t believe how hard it’s been for rumble to take away some of their users.
YouTube need refurbished
I only go there for like music I can't find elsewhere. Hate the app and behavior. Google is hopefully getting some overdue humbling as LLMs eat away their search dominance
Have you tried NewPipe?
No...does it deliver what I think youre saying it does? Couple aps in past I've tried, to for example allow me to lock my phone, never worked reliably
Are you on android or iOS?
GitHub?
Its also in zapstore
iOS 🏃♂️💨
Thanks for the update!
FWIW, this interaction, and a few others recently, have got me thinking it may be time to consider android for next phone. Don't bring up graphebe though, not gonna happen (tried it few years ago)
I won't bring up graphene lol!
I've seen troubling news of android authorities making g it so it's difficult to download apks directly from sources. Instead that have to be licensed with googleplay. I'll see if I can find it
Fuck youtube
Brave browser fixes the lock phone issue
Yeah I remember this. You are suggesting android though, right? There's not some 4th option freedom phone I'm forgetting? Or is this your way of saying "graphene"?
Feel like I tried this once, and can't remember if it worked or not. Let's find out...
But I do find interfacing via browser slightly annoying vs app (even though I hate the ap). Brb
No ads, can block all distracting elements within the media settings, plays in background. It’s superior to the YouTube app 🤙🏼 I think so anyway
This 🎯
I was gonna switch to graphene. Is it really that bad? 😭
yes
youtube without goolag:
api invidious io
No dice. Had to log in. Can't even minimize browser and have a song keep playing.
Login was just a nuisance. But on iPhone, have to leave browser up at least for me right now
Settings, media, enable background audio. To get past the log in issue, keep changing VPN location and refreshing. Both work for me anyway on iOS, Brave and Mullvad
You don't need an app to lock your phone. Just switch to desktop mode.
It's apparently way better than in 2021/2 when I last tried it. I mostly got discouraged cuz I wanted a nokyc spy phone, but after buying cash blah blah blah I had to connect to my home WiFi to set it up. And then, it was a pretty shit experience too. Gather it's way better now, but as daily driver it's gonna be a lot of effort imo. I'm not a real cypherpunk shrug
Dummy here. What is desktop mode on iPhone? Google is stumped too
That’s strange, background playing working for me. Did you check the enable background audio setting in Brave?
Pour one out for the YouTube chat 🫗
Ahh, the Brave settings! Found it, and it works now!! Thanks slimmer!! 🦠🦠🦠
Request desktop website setting menu in safari but turns out you don't need it anymore. Just don't use the YT app. Use TY mobile website in safari, change app and push play in the dock menu.
@Slimer helped me sort it out using brave and adjusting a setting. Think I'm good to go. Glorious day!!
🫡
I'm a hacker now
What about quantum?
Where is this setting?
Inside brave there's a cog icon. Follow the cog
I would suggest android for now, yes
Follow it where? I’m not sure what you even adjusted
Yes
I don't recall, but literally the things mentioned above is all you need. Toggle background on, done
Brave, three dots bottom right, all settings, media, enable background audio setting
Looks like I already had it on. You’re trying to listen to music on YouTube through brave like it’s a Spotify app?
Yes, most of the time that's how I end up there. A lot of music isn't on the streaming apps once you go a bit niche.
In this particular case I wanted to have a podcast I got a link to play. Sure I could prob find it outside YouTube, but that's work.
Been listening (and recently viewing) on Fountain for a while, and it's a great experience. Download option for offline access, almost all all my favourite podcasts are there, combined with the great feeling of being free of YouTube's clutches, and with V4V you can stream sats for every minute consumed, plus boosts as wanted. 👍🏻
i do enjoy the broadcast and will hit follow. keep up the good fight sirs
Fuck YouTube
YouTube is a titan🔎 👀, adaptation to another platform will be very slow 😶😳
a small group will possibly try another platform, but unlearning old habits will be very difficult
I'm curious how dispatch is going to develop further 🤔
Im slowly trying to get off Google in general. Its hard
Atta boy. 🫂
To echo
@₿en Wehrman maybe rumble? Not perfect but seems consistently better fwiw. Know video is a huge effort though.
Rumble is great if you hate UX and enjoy ads containing the lowest tier AI slop you’ve ever seen.
I pay for YouTube premium.
It’s literally our family’s video entertainment for decades
I decided a couple of weeks back to ignore YT for a bit. It’s been fun so far
Where your attention goes, things happen!
Fuck You Tube
That's always great to hear.
What apps/services are you struggling with?
Yeah tried that a while back and wasn't consistent for me.
Solution for now has been brave browser, signed in (sadly required), with setting in brave to play when minimized
Still kind of a pain and don't always do it
I think an update was made. It’s very reliable now. All you have to do is put the video in Picture in Picture or full screen and get out of the app: it will keep playing
Sigh...fool me 6 times... fine I'll try again sometime soon
Do better or beat it yodl
🏃♂️💦💦
Good choice 😂
