Spoofing Chrome magically makes this problem go away. The slow down is 5 secs according to the video.
Update 1: Safari faces the same treatment
Update 2: Google confirms 5 sec delays for ad-block user
Gonna keep talking about Peertube until it starts to take off.
Seriously, how great would it be for your fave youtubers to have their own Peertube instance, and know that your donations go DIRECTLY to support them and maintain their server? With NO advertisements or possibility of Google shutting you down just cuz they dont like you
Your fav youtubers might host their own peertube someday, but there is still a lot of value in the other content that you don’t consume regularly like tutorials or random interesting stuff. Peertube is not the ultimate solution
I’m in full agreement here. I will always try to support the things I follow the most but probably my favorite thing about current media is finding a random person who does something incredibly niche and watching/listening a vid/song or two of theirs. I’ll come every couple of months or so but I’m not consuming their content regularly. Tutorials as you mentioned are a great example of this.
I did the math a year or two that if I paid a single dollar to every YouTuber I watch and musician I listen to on Spotify I would be paying around $400 a month. In an idyllic world I would have a stable job with enough expendable income to make that happen. In this reality I don’t see that as a possibility.
