Quoting this chud's X account? A new publication to avoid.

Meanwhile gorhill won't even take donations.

We love you gorhill!

Oh man, does that mean my sub to yt-dlp is going to go up as well?

People pay for that?

Lol auto speed? Who in the fuck wants that?

I bet Gemini came up with that bullshit. Some asshole who's paid too much is treating himself to more cocain while patting himself on the back for being the one to carry that idea from the LLM to the workers.

Laughs in PipePipe and SmartTube.

So, I don't remember when was the last time I willingly used Youtube. I have been sent links for friends, but I don't type "youtube.com" nor do I have their app installed. The last Youtube video I watched was my cousin's college graduation

and support the creatives and artists you watch on YouTube.”

Far better to support creators via more direct means.

For Premium subs, YouTube implemented a special time-saving feature that automatically speeds up videos without sacrificing comprehension.

Needless use of AI, and SponsorBlock already skips the least useful parts of videos.

Alongside Auto Speed, YouTube also added ‘On-the-go‘ mode, which is aimed at audio-focused content like podcasts and talk shows. The idea is to simplify playback by reducing distractions like comments and other on-screen elements.

After they've deliberately complicated the app with content that can be hidden for free in third-party clients.

Finally, there’s ‘Ask Music,’ – a feature that lets YouTube find podcasts “based on genres, your current mood, or shows you already love.” It can also generate a personalized radio or playlists.

All that does is hand Google more data points to expand its profiles on users.

The price hike also comes as the Google-owned platform has continued to find new ways to subject users to ads, including 30-second unskippable ads and ads that appear while browsing your subscriptions.

Deliberate enshittification to push users towards an unnecessary service.

You know that paycheck you had at the end of the month? These companies demand it's theirs.

I feel like I’m going insane. They’re justifying enshittification by charging more? Shouldn’t it be the other way around??? Why isn’t anyone calling it out? How did these companies get so brazen? Running headline this uncritical should be labeled as misinformation.

New pipe? Invidious?

In the US. Americans, please stop colonising small internet communities. You colonised everything else already.
