I copy&paste the one unavoidable youtube video per week to mpv, so i’m not bothered with whatever they do (as long as yt-dlp works).

For playlist followers, there’s a bunch of cli/gui tools.

Okay.

Don’t use it then.

You’re not using it, right?

I’m allowed to use it and be critical of it at the same time. But I use it way less these days because adblocker or not, it’s become a user-hostile and censored place and every video is following the same formula in order to get seen the most and the whole thing feels gross.

Ya I’m so sick of hearing “can’t mention that, YouTube will demonetize me” on videos (or what amounts to that with censored language, topics, blurred guns now, etc.) Just makes it very clear we’re living in a corporate echo chamber where everything must align with what advertisers want. How about what the viewers want??? Fuck the advertisers
