GIS has been trash for many years now. When I discovered Yandex Images, I was blown away by how much better it was. Its reverse image search is far superior to Google's in almost every case, and its "similar" image recommendations are usually really good.
Indians getting an internet connection and a basic command of the English language was a disaster to the Internet.
The fact that they are phone brained and can't even access most of our platforms helps as well. Google, Twitter and Facebook are basically banned for them. So normies just stick to WeChat and Weibo. I doubt they can be bothered to mess around with TOR or VPNs.
Oh, it's Matthew Tye and SerpentZA (Winston Sterzel). I do like their videos - I do think it would be... interesting if they had a look in Israel, but that's just me perhaps just sperging a bit.
Cable is the first instance I can recall where the original pitch included "watch shows and movies on dozens of channels without commercials!" ... the idea being since you're paying for the signal delivery, the broadcasters get paid a slice of that, while people using over-the-air antennas "pay" for their broadcasts by watching the ads embedded in it.
I used to use that and Bing for reverse image searches when Google Images was being retarded, but since about a year ago, they don't work as well as they used to do. Yandex and DDG are being googlify-ed at an alarming rate and Bing is an ai infested shithole. Why is it so hard to have a search engine that just works? Total corpo death or whatever.
Youtube's original content is trash for entertainment. The only thing it's useful for is when you're looking up clips from a show or movie, songs, a tutorial to get something done, or any sort of full episodes of TV shows that YouTube had no hand in the production of. It's why I exclusively access YouTube through Freetube (including the unofficial Android port) now: I can remove all the recommendations on the side bar and have a blank page when I open the program instead of being faced with a wall of low quality content,
This reminds me how YouTube used to mess with China Uncensored back in the day, (pre 2020.)
I have been playing whack-a-mole with jewtube when downloading videos, they routinely IP ban me and also blocked the account I use so I can't grab age restricted videos. I hope a fucking goldeneye style money-stealing laser wipes out all of Alphabet's finances
I'm getting a error 423. Or it says my vpn / tor is blocked. yt-dlp still works for me. but I had to import cookies from a youtube account to let it work.
I'm getting this too, but... for some reason, only in Incognito? Sometimes it won't load at all or it'll load 19 seconds and then pause. But if I'm logged in on a normal browser it's all good.
As an alternative you could try out the desktop version of Grayjay: https://grayjay.app/desktop/
This is what I had to do, although on Linux I had to run it via the terminal (could be my distro specifically) but not a real complaint. Videos run fine on Grayjay and I guess I'll use this until Freetube is fixed or just stick with this permanently depending on the situation.
