Likely they can know where the add was inserted and can still send you to the right part of the video, but will break sponsor block because before it was always in the same spot, and now will be different on every instance of ever video so you'll just be jumping around where the ad used to be. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-13-06 |
it's so weird to me that this is so hard for folks
youtube is probably the highest return subscription service i use
so much great content

There should be rules around just how many ads they can display in longer videos | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-13-06 |
Lol you think that means leaving the platform instead of just ripping the videos to download | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-13-06 |
youtube banned most cool people or they left themselves. i don't even watch it anymore(( | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-13-06 |

Well it's gonna discourage people from starting to watch twitch as well, since finding content is a bloody chore.

Yeah, the [popular peertubes](https://instances.joinpeertube.org/instances?sort=-totalUsers) are a bit niche (going off of number of users):
1. [Rawb.art](https://phijkchu.com/), an archive of Robert Moran's work (currently a streamer, but started out making animations wayyy back in the Newgrounds age and still has a close following). His stuff's spread out across a lot of platforms, some of which (such as blip) have died, so this kind of project is important. I'm a bit surprised this is the #1 for users, especially given that there's technically only one creator (and it seems like this site was made by fans who don't like his current work? IDK, I'm not up to date on whatever drama)
2. [Antopie](https://video.antopie.org/about/instance), a french leftist tube
3. [Skeptikón](https://skeptikon.fr/), a french skeptist (Zététique?) tube
4. [QOTO](https://video.qoto.org/about/instance), a tube related to a STEM/academic freedom organization
5. [p.lu](http://p.lu), the first "general" tube that I see. The only info I have is that its creator apparently got pretty lucky with bitcoin. There's a large amount of "adult" content on this site since it seems to be completely unmoderated, so NSFW.
And honestly, that seems to be what peertube's about. Creating a "general" peertube won't get far, especially without content. But if you were to create a peertube about some niche interest (80s toy-based cartoon critique? sicilian cooking? etc.), then you stand a much better chance of growing a community | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-13-06 |
No, stealing would be if I was lying, forcing, or manipulating them into giving me something (including IP) against their will. None of that occurred. I viewed every ad it took to get there until I got sick of the number of ads. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-13-06 |
Good luck getting past brave browser | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-13-06 |
Even if you enable the controls the server probably won't let you view a chunk of video that it too far ahead of your current chunk. You'd have to fool youtube into thinking you're a person who has already seen 90% of the ad, and then another ad will start up anyway. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-13-06 |
This is also YouTube's fault, after they made it possible to get more ad revenue for 10+ minute videos, suddenly everyone's 1-2 minute tutorial videos started becoming 2 minutes intro, 5 more minutes of useless filler, 2-3 minutes of paid sponsors, and 30 seconds of the actual content you wanted to watch.
I fucking hate Google/YouTube so much. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-14-06 |

yes, support them directly through whatever donation system they have. If youtube paid creators I liked like the old days then I'd be fine with ads or subscriptions. now cyanide and happiness can't even afford to make weekly shorts because youtube thinks their content shouldn't be profitable. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-14-06 |

Why is that clickbait? Is it easy to overcome? | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-14-06 |
Would you get a burger by watching a 3 minute ad if you could? Nobody wants to pay for anything and that's the main cause of all this. If people started paying from the beginning then all tech wouldn't be propped up on investor money until it had enough users to make money on ads. nobody wanted to pay, and this is the reality we're living with. If you don't wanna pay for youtube then watch the ads or just don't use youtube. They don't miss you, they're a business trying to make money. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-14-06 |
Can you explain what this looked like to me? I’m old enough to have used a VCR but I’ve never heard of this as block tech and can’t even imagine what it looked like when applied to live TV broadcasts because it’s not like you can skip forward or something | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-14-06 |
I think we are the unusual ones. I think of it as something to do for my own benefit more than because it will have any positive effect on the world. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-14-06 |
And this is why people gone download alot more | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-14-06 |
I had a 45 second skippable apple ad yesterday… the full add was 5 minutes according to the little popup. The video was only 15 minutes. If you hadn’t skipped, 25% of the video time was an ad | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-14-06 |

> the majority of my subscription payment is going to line the Google executive pockets and the content creators (...) are still getting a marginal percentage of the pay
But that's not true. 55% of your subscription goes to creators.
>Somebody who makes YouTube videos and has millions of subscribers and gets millions of views on a daily or weekly basis should make enough in ad revenue from Google that they shouldn't need a patreon
Then watch the ads indeed. But a big reason these creators don't make enough from ad revenues is because people are using adblockers. It's not all the executives' fault. Advertisement only works if people are watching and being influenced by the ads. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-14-06 |
Do you have any input on doing such a VPN utilizing unifi?. I have not dived into it yet. It's on my to do list | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-14-06 |
AdGuard - works like a local vpn so it can block known ad servers etc. Works in every app that gets its data directly from ad servers, doesn't work in apps that have their own ad servers like Facebook and, pertinently here, YouTube. But it's better than nothing. Mine reports that over the last few years it's blocked over 1m requests. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-14-06 |
Netflix raised the price of the "standard tier" and created an ad tier. Effectively for the old price of the old standard, you now get ads. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-14-06 |
Sorry, I have never even heard about unifi. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-14-06 |
What’s stopping someone from just creating a mirror site or something akin to 123movies but for YouTube?
If this is possible it would just be soooo awful if some brave hero made it happen | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-14-06 |
I was trying to see just how hellish Youtube had become. But I don't watch so much Youtube any more that I didn't know what to look for (and Youtube doesn't offer me anything when I start it up, I must have made a setting a long time ago). So all I could think of were old videos and I left. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-14-06 |
55% of your premium fee goes to the creators you watch. Most creators that have gone in depth into their revenue stats have said they get more from premium revenue sharing than ads. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-14-06 |
Eh, not that hard to rate limit it and do seeking server side. If they bake it in well enough on the server end, it won't really be possible to skip in realtime. You'd have to download the stream in realtime in the background and then process it to detect ads. It'd be annoying af. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-14-06 |
Not really. They've used chunked encoding and streaming for many years now. The video content is broken up into more or less independently encoded chunks, which can play in any order. So you can basically just stuff some ad chunks in between content chunks in what you send the browser. A bit more work, especially if you want to track user sessions and prevent skipping ahead, but not significantly so. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-14-06 |
Google uses 'usage data' and the rest of their data collection apparatus solely to place ads, which is how they make the vast majority of their money. It has no other value to them. If you don't watch their ads, they don't want your usage data. In fact it might even have negative value. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-14-06 |
Mobile Firefox allows you to have extensions including ublock but I don't think there's any apk for your whole phone | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-14-06 |
Since more ads will play out, or users will convert to premium, creators will get more money. Why should they get a bigger *cut* though? | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-14-06 |
Yeah, it is quite literally the entire point. If the client controls play out the ads easy to skip. Move steam assembly to the server side, and only serve segments the client is allowed to see based on the expected playtime, and it's basically impossible to defeat in real time. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-14-06 |
Do you know why Google allows ad-blocker extentions on Chrome in the first place? | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-15-06 |
I mean youtube's pushing a real fine line here before they start absolutely pissing away users. If it was one 5 second ad on each video, I doubt anyone would really care that much. But its now up to a combined 40 seconds of ads and if you're unlucky, both are unskippable. Then there's the advertised videos in the side bar, the popup next to the video. Youtube's been a great app for over a decade, but keep pushing people to the disgruntled and pissed off corner and eventually a replacement will come along that picks up traction and begins to replace YT. Google will probably try buy it, but it'll begin a whack a mole of YT replacements hopefully more successful than replacements like vimeo. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-15-06 |
I guess if they are content with how fast they are developing greater means to push advertising they might'nt be so concerned with ad-blockers and such right now.
Still surprises me they don't seem to weed things out things like uBlock.
Thanks heaps for digging up the link, it'll take me a couple reads to get my head around it. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-15-06 |
What YouTube should do is just separate Music from video and make them two different subscriptions and slash the price by 25-30% each and then offer a bundle price that equals what it currently is now for the full subscription. This would make a lot of people happy and dramatically increase the number of premium users. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-15-06 |
Too bad it’s always easier to break or circumvent something than it is to fix it. Still enjoying my YouTube ad free via Brave. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-15-06 |

I didn't even realize youtube had ads because I've always used an ad blocker. While playing a video yesterday, however, I saw what looked like one frame on an ad show up. I though that was strange but I think this may explain why.
If I'm forced to see and watch ads in youtube and websites, I'll be doing a whole lot less youtube watching and website viewing. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-16-06 |

AWS is alright I guess, but there has not been a single decent UI or all around product that I have ever used from Amazon. Search on their marketplace sucks. Seller central interface sucks. Prime TV interface sucks. Alexa usability sucks. For hiring so many technically capable and credentialed engineers you’d think they could make something that doesn’t suck to use, but nope. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-13-06 |
I don't use it so I can't really comment clearly on the why, but the path to monetization is pretty straightforward to me. *If* it was a real computer assistant that people wanted to use then you wouldn't buy from other places and it would collect data about you to build profiles against your purchasing habits. So if people want to target some kind of buyer then they'd look for *early risers* or *people who listen to smooth jazz* | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-13-06 |
Having worked as a FEE at Amazon, this is entirely due to the fragmented nature of UI/UX work within the company.
As an example, Polaris was a huge initiative, even in 2020, to orient the AWS console under a single design system. Yet, its “design” was one team in the EU with no great feedback loop from A/B testing within each respective console on the design elements.
Google was the same way, but waaaaay weirder with their Material design system having no implementations for a multitude of implementations in house languages. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-13-06 |
Amazon’s management at director level and up are filled with boomers who have no idea what they are doing when it comes to innovation.
The current CEO is a cost cutter who has less than 1% the vision Bezos had.
Instead of focusing energy on deciding how Amazon is going to handle the AI revolution, this CEO is more worried about whether employees come to the office 3 days a week and if they are spending enough time in the office, tracking their entry and exit badging. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-13-06 |
Echo / alexa makes for a good alarm and time check….best use case imo | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-13-06 |
It's too bad, the Fire Cube TV is really good with TV control. I love it
It's just laggy as all hell and Alexa is unreliable. If the speaker groups worked... Or if weather was good... | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-13-06 |
The way I understood it was that they were hoping that Alexa devices would be used to make easier impulse purchases , but that never really materialized, as the devices were more used as glorified alarm clocks, timers and speakers.
And with the enshittification of the Amazon store, I would never trust a displayless device which might or might not understand fully my commands to buy things for me. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-13-06 |
We jumped in with Alexa just before the second gen devices launched with a couple of lights and 2-3 Dots. It worked well enough but the more smart devices we added, and the more they screwed with the app, the worse it got. It felt useless for anything beyond light control and timers. Accessing media or anything related to most skills was unreliable at best. When Alexa started to spend more time telling me all the things it could do for me (buy stuff for me) than actually doing things we had enough.
A couple of months ago I setup HomeBridge and moved all our Alexa devices into HomeKit and it’s been so much better. Siri isn’t perfect but. We have a couple of HomePod Minis but since we are already Apple users we have it with us at all times. Automations are excellent and even if they can be a little slow the HomeBridge devices work perfectly too. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-13-06 |

False Alexa took off in hardware markets. Compared to Google Assistant, HomeKit, and smaller home automation companies, more products run Alexa than anything else. If AI can translate to those products then Alexa could dominate again. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-13-06 |

I have the Echo 3. Sound quality is ass on this device do I stopped using it for anything | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-13-06 |
Their devices’ biggest problem is software. Whoever runs the dveices’ software org clearly does not use any amazon products.
Their hardware is decent for the price. I have a echo speaker with echo subwoofer system at home and it’s incredible. They work as a home theatre system with my fire tv etc. it’s much better than any sub $1000 sound bar I have ever tried. The whole setup costs like $250.
But, the number of times my echo speaker set unpairs itself, loses the stereo configuration for no reason is infuriating.
But when it works, my living room feels like a freaking nightclub. They work Incredibly well together. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-13-06 |
It’s not even a good smart speaker anymore. Me and whoever used to be able to tell the thing to play whatever song and it would do it, now it’ll play similar songs, not the one you wanna hear, and say you gotta get a Amazon Music Plus subscription in order to play specific songs. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-13-06 |

>and say you gotta get a Amazon Music Plus subscription in order to play specific songs.'
This was always the plan. Another in the long list of 'long con' tech that starts out as useful and has potential to do things interesting, and then is streamlined into a sales/ad generating feature or becomes subscription based after building up an install base.
Every single thing I used to use Alexa for is now as you mentioned, paywalled or just broken. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-13-06 |

I would MAYBE consider buying things with Alexa if Amazon did a better job keeping their store full of quality listings. The fact that you wouldn't be able to trust it to purchase the right item at a reasonable price makes it an immediate no go. Even if this wasn't an issue, Amazon usually isn't the best place to purchase items people WOULD be comfortable purchasing on there because it's expensive to ship directly to someone vs having it in bulk in a big store. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-15-06 |

There's a huge extra incentive for NGAD to happen as soon as possible - F-22 is such an expensive maintenance program that getting it out of the air early saves a bunch of dollars.
The Raptor is from that earlier age of digitalisation and systems integration and networking, and an earlier age of stealth consumables (the top secret goop). It's like your office business using and storing hardware and writing software for six different versions of Windows.
Getting a newer - but more importantly, more extensible - architecture into the air will save money and apply those recent F-22/F-35/B-21 lessons to a F-22 successor. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-13-06 |
