How do people here feel about
@larossmann's
Gayjay app? It lets you view YouTube without ads, but also Rumble and Kick too.
Highlighting this comment here. I cannot say enough about how much better video browsing is since I started using GrayJay! It has a few bugs and minor glitches, most of which are usually fixed by a restart of the app. Even then, its still better than the native Rumble experience, A great platform unfortunately hindered by a busy and glitchy UI. But there are no ads, and most in-video ads have a "skip" function like SponsorBlock does. You don't have annoying text ads or irrelevant "community posts" from creators thst you dont even follow clogging up your feed, And best of all, NO FUCKING YOUTUBE SHORTS! You can aggregate content from YT, Odyssey, Rumble, and others, which helps alot. But even then, the search is only as good as the original provider allows, but it seems to filter out alot of the unrelated and astroturfed bullshit. It could use some improvements, such as allowing for different functions and better integration with the native providers, but I still recommend it to everyone, and
@larossmann and his crew of developers deserve all the money they can get from it.
Imagine what would happen if suddenly there was absolutely no censorship on what you could say on youtube. I truly believe that many people would actually kill themselves if they could hear unfiltered opinions of them. It really sucks not being able to call someone a stupid fagget. Even the most mild insults get removed immediately.
In today's sensitive and overly sheltered society, sure. But I remember when the YouTube comments section used to be notorious for how bad they could get. To the point that the "YouTube comments section" used to be a meme onto itself, where comedians used to make jokes about it, people would make response videos to individual comments, and some would even be cited in news articles.
I just don't get how all these corporations see fit to treat everyone like they're an 8 year old who needs their hand held through everything. And God forbid that videos that are marked for adults lets you hear naughty words, or your channel could be deleted! Sorry, your channel could be "unalived"! I'm of the opinion that if these media corporations want section 230 protection, they shouldn't be allowed to favor one particular narrative or ideological belief above all else, only censoring what they don't agree with. If you want to be a "publisher" and enjoy these protections, you have to take the good with the bad.
I've noticed an influx of fake, botted youtube accounts lately. A lot of them seem to use black people / zoomer vernacular, as in "aint no way in ohio" type shit. I think it's typically referred to as hood irony. Something akin to "ain't no way blud" followed by skull emojis seems to be a recurring comment.
I've seen these, as well as other suspicious bot-like usernames increasingly flooding the comments on all sorts of videos. Usuallywith 1 or 2 word responses, and oftentimesnot even related to the video at hand. It's the same type of thing that you see with pReddit bot accounts. A couple of random unrelated words followed by a 3 or 4 number sequence. Once you see it, you can click on their name and usually see the account is relatively new, no user info, no videos of their own, and usually only follows the channel that they commented on. There are even bots that respond and argue with other bots. It's creepy and maddening all at once.
(You're welcome for me sacrificing my sanity to suffer Jewtube "raw" for a few to get this screenshot, BTW)
Got to think though, the sheer size of the library of videos they have to deal with is ever increasing. Must be a fucking nightmare to trying and figure out a database for the billions upon billions of videos. At least 40 million of those are just Indians saying "good morning sir, bloody bastard" etc.
I think Jewtube could clear a massive amount of storage space, save millions on bandwidth and data costs, and immediately turn a profit if they just deleted every video and user that originates from India. A subhuman race so bad that they make niggers look
almost respectable, every single pajeet originated video is full of the most braindead, pointless, mindless drivel that isn’t worth the bits of data that theyre based upon. Its all either nonsensical AI generated bullshit, horrible knockoffs of low-tier cartoons chasing the algorithm, or stupid pointless "life hacks" that are somehow worse than the problem they're supposed to fix. Now, videos
OF pajeet fails should still be shown, and encouraged. Like the self-deletes from Indians doing Indian things like trying to load 1500 people and a heard of cows onto a single train car that inevitably topples over, or messing with electricity when they can barely comprehend the solar cycle. Or videos of Indian scammers getting owned. Those should all stay up. Oh, and
Poo In The Loo, of course, that has to stay up. We cant forget the single greatest testament to India's worldwide cultural contributions to society.
I've never clicked on a single randomly generated playlist, but they most definitely are a fabricated by the machine. What i don't know however is the extent of their "recommendations". Is it only videos of channels you're subscribed to or do they also cobble together videos that you normally have no interest in watching?
Some of the user-generated playlists are still OK. But even then, the increased shoehorning of ads from Jewtube makes those hard to bear anymore. Nothing worse than a playlist interrupted by a fucking 15 minute "infomercial" ad in the middle of a song.
