Youtube is utter shit these days.
Any video over 8 minutes gets the longer ad break treatment, my recommended feed is almost entirely things I've already watched or put on my Watch Later list, and now music from bands I've never heard of. I can skip over a video a hundred times and it stays on my list until I tell Youtube to remove it, while new videos from channels or topics I regularly watch don't show up unless I search for them. A chunk of each video is the creator begging for likes and subscribes and promoting a sponsor or Patreon because they keep getting fucked by changes to the algorithm.
Someone out there has to be making a Youtube replacement.
- Google Enshittificate everything.PhanLo
- In all honesty, I haven't watched a video from the cooking channels I follow for ... wow, I dunno. A year and a half, maybe? It's pure shit, now.Continuity
- Both YT and the channels themselves. And YT keeps recommending shit to me I just couldn't give a fuck about.Continuity
- Complaining about ads on YouTube is like complaining for ads on Spotify's free plan, I haven't seen an ad on YouTube in like a decade.YakuZoku
- I can't block them on the TV app, which is where I watch most of the time, but all ads are blocked everywhere else.i_monk
- If this is their typical user experience, they're doomed.i_monk
- YT paid out more to their content creators more than Hollywood, Bollywood, and all the other "woods" in the world combined, they're not going anywhereYakuZoku
- $14/mo no ads, done.YakuZoku
- < And that is why the experience continues to get worse.monNom
- I've gone sour over some really loved channels I have been subscribed to for YEARS, only for them to now put out 'members only' videos.Akagiyama
- That I can only watch if I pay. WTFAkagiyama
- @Aka, same. I couldn't wait for new vids from the channels I subbed to, for a long time. Now? Ugh. Fuck 'em.Continuity
- $14/mo doesn't solve any of the other issues, and MrBeast getting millions doesn't stop the rest from like/subscribe/spons...i_monk
- ...or/patreoning their videos. Every January there's a slew of "I'm burnt out and leaving YT" videos because very few are actually making more than a few Ki_monk
- a month, and have to keep gaming the algorithm to even get their subscribers to see new videos.i_monk
- Just install Brave broswer, no more ads!!!Projectile

- I love these typographic micro sites so much. They ALMOST justify the family cost of like $1000 for the font, eh?!ideaist
- Americans call it Swiss designmaikel
- The font price does not include a web licensing, add extra $450. Fuck them and all the font foundries that use this get rich quick business model.utopian

- Well, he's the reason QBN had a thread worshiping Putin. Lest we forgethotroddy
- Burn in hell for eternity.Milan
- Dumb fuck. That thread was pure satire. If you haven’t noticed it’s YOUR party that’s been sucking that big Russian cock the last decade. Fucking idiot.monospaced
- This guy was a piece of human garbage, supported by like minded human garbage, just like your nitwit beta ass.monospaced
- you're so right. That's why Trump sanctioned russian oil and now conducting military strikes against Russia's closes ally Venezuela.hotroddy
- It's been proven that Russia collusion was a hoax. TDS has your head is so far up your own ass that you can't concede it.hotroddy
- Lol at satire, so why has everyone stopped posting love affair pictures of Putin? I thought it was satire? What's next a QBN Hitler satire thread?hotroddy
- The MAGA snowflakes have been triggered.utopian
- ^^ This guy just keeps regurgitating the same three words he can barely spell.hotroddy
- ^^ Says the guy whose emotional IQ hovers somewhere between a traffic cone and a conspiracy theory — yet somehow he’s always the victim.utopian
- Good for you for forming a longer sentence. Even if you had to put it through ChatGPT.hotroddy
- "It's been proven.." and then immediately goes to TDS cope. Trump's Russia connection has absolutely NOT been disproven.garbage
- It's been scrubbed everywhere, but linking to the greatest Daily Show episode of all time:garbage
- http://media.crooksa…garbage
- Yeah, so I guess you just ignore the actual active relationship Trump has with Putin, and how he’s sucking that big Russian cock in public?monospaced
- I'm incredulous that our Venezuelan chum doesn't see how tongue-in-cheek the Putin thread is, but then right-tards are very good at only seeing what they want.Nairn
- Yeah, the "It's been proven" line was quite the blast from the Bizarro World.CyBrainX
- yeah, dipshits, Putin must be loving that Trump is removing his closest alley in the western-hemispher. Great Friend Trump is.hotroddy
- Not Putin's closest alley in the western-hemispher! He loved hanging out there!garbage
- You sound confused and need a geography lesson.hotroddy

religion
If there’s an afterlife, the unbeliever will learn; if there isn’t, the believer will never know.
- https://en.wikipedia…i_monk
- Pascal bets on god, I ignore him entirely.palimpsest
- This only accounts for one of the gods of one stupid belief system. One would have to believe in all of the stupid to cover their ass and that is impossible.monospaced
- Unless only one religion is true.Morning_star
- Believers&unbeliever... both go to the shit place they believe in; the knower gets never-ending do-overs. Heaven's for quitters and death's not the end.tbgoodwillie
- If only one is true then you don’t know which one. They all have equal claim. So you have to subscribe to all, which is beyond silly. Just like the wager.monospaced
- The mostly reasonable conclusion to this scenario is that none are true.monospaced
- this is the afterlifeneverscared
- not really, the most reasonable conclusion is to conclude that it is beyond reasonkingsteven
- lolmonospaced
- If you ignore all bullshit of the dogma and doctrine of organised religion there is still a metaphysical element of this that would conclude that it is...Morning_star
- ...reasonable to believe in an afterlife. The often hellish organisations constructed around religion are terrible but irrelevant to this question.Morning_star
- "I have a toothache, he has a toothache."garbage
- I don’t see how it’s reasonable to believe in an afterlife knowing that consciousness is a byproduct of a living organism and no evidence shows it goes on.monospaced
- I don't think we know or understand conciousness to the point that we know what it IS. The claim that it's an emergent property of the our brains is being...Morning_star
- ...challenged currently with ideas that 'consciosnesss' is fundamental. If you have the time this discussion sheds some light on new ideas.Morning_star
- https://youtu.be/DrM…Morning_star
- I’m basing this on the fact that we don’t really see conscious anywhere else ant all outside of a living brain of a biological organism.monospaced
- That's not a fact. Like gravity, whilst we can describe it we still don't know what it 'is'. Some think consciousness is a field, others an emergent property ofMorning_star
- ...the brain, some posit it is the fundamental building block of everything. Until we can measure it and understand what it is to be 'conciousness' how can we..Morning_star
- ...say that it IS this and NOT this.Morning_star

Signs your getting old?
This is where I’m at in my passion/hobby timeline. My wife loved it when I was into photography, until I started spending a fortune on film gear and lab fees. Now she’s all for me getting great exercise on the bike, but can’t believe how expensive modern carbon bikes are. And finally, she hates everything about my watch collecting journey, lol.
- so your hobbies are all about the fancy gear...hans_glib
- no but thats what my wife thinks lolHijoDMaite
