Half the time piped links won’t work for me and the other half of the time the videos buffer incredibly slow.
I think it’s not a good idea to leave links to Piped instead of YouTube (same for Nitter/Twitter, Libreddit/Reddit, etc.). If you want to avoid YouTube, then just install LibRedirect extension or similar. Piped links are temporary, they’ll break sooner or later, making it difficult for people to get to the website.
The problem that I see is that all of these alternatives still rely on YouTube at the end of the day.
And the cost of setting up a new video hosting site that’s free to consume content from is ridiculous.
Go on then, LTT. Delete your youtube account.
They are leading in the right direction. I think that’s the important.
I disagree, he is just mad because he wants to keep all the ad money for himself and thinks YouTube is stealing his profit. This is the “ad blocking is piracy” guy afterall. There’s not a single moral shred in that video, it’s all patronizing and capitalist greed. He just wants to keep all the subscription money without having to share it with anyone.
Apparently they’re going to address YouTube replacements in the second part of the series. Also I’m fairly sure they spoke about Youtube ReVanced a couple of times before.
Anyone have an alternative video not narrated by a sex pest?
Why is he specifically a sex pest?
He’s not, there was accusations against him and his company from a former employee that were recently settled in court in favor of Linus, judged has having committed no wrongdoing.
Not settled in court. An independent law firm investigates the allegations. No court has touched this and likely never will.
He’s not. There were unsubstantiated accusations from a disgruntled former employee that were proved to be false.
Some people just hear what they want though.
