Youtube is broken, again (sh.itjust.works)

Use UBlock, sponsorblock, firefox, etc. Recently it broke again, some stupid permission to connect youtube to other google services pop-up is permablocking it and I can't be bothered investigating.

Go to FreeTube cause why not. Works rather well for how it works. Especially for listening to albums it is fine, for video it's often too slow.

They found a way to inject bullshit in there too, now? And basically everywhere.

Albums are sometimes uploaded as 1 long video. Those are fun. Often they're uploaded as all songs seperately and then there's a playlist which makes it 'the album'. They used to be okay too.

Not anymore. People started injecting bullshit videos within the playlists. No, Andrew fucking Tates bullshit is not part of this album. Fuuuu. ANDREW I CAN'T STAY FUCKING MOTIVATED BECAUSE SOME ARSEHOLE INJECTED YOUR BULLSHIT VIDEO INTO THE MUSIC PLAYLIST I'LD LIKE TO LISTEN TO WITHOUT YOUR BULLSHIT INTERRUPTIONS!

I need to work on permanently replacing youtube. It no longer serves its purpose (for me of listening to albums) reliably.

I don't understand. What google service permission?

And is youtube injecting andrew tate into playlists or is the owners of the playlists?

[–] Badeendje@lemmy.world 6 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Google has to allow users to separate accounts on their services. It's probably a popup that asks if you want to keep it all in one account or use a separate account for YouTube.

dont use it? storage is cheap, i keep my music local. fuck those services

[–] freebee@sh.itjust.works 6 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Yeah i used to do that. Then i got hooked by how easy it became to just stream all the time. Local made me feel like i got stuck on the same music after a while a bit too much, and getting new music required effort. I became lazy.

Jellyfin might be your way to go.

Yes Newpipe is also broken. It's YouTube messing with their side of things. It started to glitch last week but ever since two days ago it stopped working entirely. Freetube still does the job if I really, really need to watch a video. But I guess I'll wait for a patch and have a YT detox in the meantime.

[–] NaoPb@eviltoast.org 2 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Maybe there's an update for newpipe. I had to update freetube on my tv.

[–] Mothra@mander.xyz 2 points 4 months ago (1 children)

I downloaded 27.1 some hours ago and most videos play now. But I still get a lot of crashes. The newpipe team is already on it though

[–] NaoPb@eviltoast.org 1 points 4 months ago

Thanks for the update.

I've ReVanced patched the official YouTube app currently.

[–] Presi300@lemmy.world 8 points 4 months ago

I mean, if music is all you are using youtube for, you could ~~piracy~~ Spotify

[–] magic_lobster_party@kbin.run 4 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

Why don’t you just go directly to FaltyDL’s own channel directly if you want to listen to their music, instead of relying on some BS playlist unrelated to the artist? Music seems to be accessible there without Andrew Tate shit.

[–] teft@lemmy.world 3 points 4 months ago (2 children)

None of that has happened to youtube on my system and I watch daily. I use firefox with ublock and nothing else. Are you sure you don’t have some malware infection going on?

[–] bassomitron@lemmy.world 2 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago) (2 children)

Is YouTube not slow for you on Firefox? Both my windows pc and Linux PC have super slow buffering on YouTube lately with Firefox. On mobile it's fine, somehow. Nothing seems to help. And it's not my Internet, everything else is normal speed except YouTube.

Edit: using User Agent Switcher and pretending to be Chrome worked immediately. This is definitely YouTube fucking with Firefox users again. They must be doing A/B/etc group testing which is why not every Firefox user is experiencing it, but many are if you go to the Firefox tech support threads.

[–] teft@lemmy.world 3 points 4 months ago (2 children)

I use a user agent switcher to tell youtube that my firefox is actually chrome. They did something some months ago for firefox clients.

Works fine with a user agent switcher though.

[–] bassomitron@lemmy.world 1 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

Oh that's such an obvious idea, can't believe I didn't think to do that... Thanks, I'll definitely give it a try!

Doesn't feel that way to me

[–] freebee@sh.itjust.works 1 points 4 months ago

you make me think i might, who knows. It looks and feels as a half-blocked element by something tho. The lay-over pop-up thing is getting thru, it's content is not. Now I found out that I can "click" some of the whiteness (turns into a hand), but don't know what I'ld be agreeing to.

First there's this: which the only option is "review options". There is no "close it for now" or whatever. It's not a choice but a command.

Some Google services are not linked Choose whether to share your data across YouTube and other Google services

Review choices

If clicking the review choices, I get a blank window with some "ghost elements" and when I inspect some of these it for example says "yes, link". But I'ld rather not. Tried turning off all my extensions and refreshing but that still didn't render it readable to me.

You can save a remote playlist as a local user playlist and remove the videos you don't want.
