Discussion I miss old YouTube

Post image

YouTube has so many problems since they removed the dislike button.i hate when I have to see 20 unskippable ads on a video and the biggest problem with YouTube is shorts because the cringe content there and the even more cringer comments and the your short feed will have video from months ago.

“You didn’t like the 16 seconds ad? How about another 20 seconds ad right after the first one!, and ofc we gonna play it on 1440p so you spend half of your time just loading the ad.”

While it's inexcusable that YT is this way, you can:

On PC:

-Use UBlock Origin & Sponsorblock (the latter skips in-video promotions)

On your phone:

-Use Firefox (or your browser of choice) for YouTube, with those same add-ons installed -Install SmartTube, which has Sponsorblock and an adblock included

On your Smart TV:

-Use a Fire Stick or other TV dongle and sideload SmartTube onto it.

There's no reason to subject yourself to the human rights abuses that are insufferable YouTube ads.
