Here’s a little hack if you do have to use youtube:
Every ad: you swipe down, close video, restart,… After a couple of times doing that, the abuse-filter kicks in and it will just show you the video. If you keep doing that a while, ads just stop for a while as it thinks it’s being abused. 😅
Probably will stop working one day too, but still works for me today.
Hi, author of the Piped link bot here! I think this is meme great feedback to throw light on some issues on the experience with the bot. 😂 I’ll open an issue at https://github.com/TeamPiped/lemmy-piped-link-bot to track this later.
It’s THE kavin, great to see you on here! You’re the one that really rocks!
Thanks for your work on Piped. Youtube links here go straight to NewPipe so I’ve been able to avoid all of Google’s latest shenanigans courtesy of your team.
If you like free software & promoting free services (as in freedom) why is your source code on Microsoft GitHub’s proprietary social network / Git forge where accounts + ToS agreements are required to contribute & the platform has anti-features trying to force engagement on users? At a minimum, I would expect a mailing list to send patches or mirroring to a free (as in freedom) forge if not an all-out migration.
If I could find a good Peertube instance, I’d take it upon myself to reupload everything I like there. I collect the 1080p(60h if available) clips locally for Kodi anyway…
from experience, none of yall click on anything but the youtube link.
What experience?
I don’t understand why anyone would use piped bot’s links at all.
I’m on the boat where I think it’s better to use an addon or something to rewrite the URLS in your browser automatically rather than relying on a bot to do it. Firefox has “Redirector” plugin which can rewrite all youtube links to whatever invidious/piped/etc. instance you want.
