Youtube General thread (formerly Youtube Censorship discussion thread)

Now that you mention it i realize i haven't been getting recommended these gay music mix lists in quite a while, i used to get spammed to death with them. Was so bad at one point that every third video in my recommends was one of these mixes (and even shit like "Mix - Albanian Music", what the fuck?). Did i finally defeat the algo by clicking "Not interested" on what feels like a million of them?

I remember when mixes used to be on the sidebar and featured new music. Now the only mixes/playlists they suggest to me consist exclusively of songs I've already played. You'd figure the pajeets that mine every bit of data possible could do better. I guess not.

Curious to see if having card purchases on file in the past will count for the whole goyshuffle thing if you get misidentified as underage once they roll this out.

My account got nuked for repeatedly violating child safety policies despite uploading zero videos.
EDIT: Permanently banned on that email, made another email and another account.

Somebody please add "goy shuffle" to the Urban Dictionary. I'm too lazy.

My account got nuked for repeatedly violating child safety policies despite uploading zero videos.

How the fuck is that even possible?

Edit: I just noticed i am getting "153 - Video player configuration error" on every embeded YT link on here, before that it was just "Video unavaible - Watch on Youtube".

I have no idea. In my nearly 18 years of using said account, I have been a stickler for the rules. Yes, I have already filed an appeal. Interestingly enough, my phone still gets notifications for YouTube on said account.

Theischild safety shit is very inconsistent across different video sites. For instance, on Dailymotion you HAVE to check "created for kids" when you upload, otherwise it can't be watched by people without an account.

This is pretty old news but on a related note to music playlists, had anyone else noticed those random bot accounts duplicating official music album playlists and inserting some shitty 1 hour video with a one word title in the middle of them? I was only reminded of my initial encounter with them because an article took notice of it relatively recently (can't remember who wrote it though).

Example of what I'm talking about below, official on the right vs the duplicated playlist on the left



This is just one example but you can find several just like this. The videos themselves are always nonsensical, usually a music video where literally nothing is happening, just white noise in effect, but this one specifically is rather odd because the video in question is 1 hour lecture on marketing disguised as a music video. Usually the comments are botted too but in this case enough people got caught by the fake playlist to shitpost about it in the comment section.

It just innocuous enough that it'd fly under youtube's nose and catch people who didn't know to look out for it, they're always propped up by old dormant accounts that either got bought out or password breached. Very odd stuff overall

Youtube trying much harder to squeeze blood from a stone really wants me to believe it will fall soon despite being too big to fail.

Anyone notice that youtube links are like 3x longer now?
I know sometimes it's trying to store the temporary video playlist it created, but sometimes there are no new features on the page but like 2/3rds of the link can be trimmed off.

Using is an example from a link above in the thread

> https://youtube.com/shorts/VXprlSlJADQ?si=TYSX3tThkHSgL4kX

In this case, everything after & including the "?si=" can be trimmed off the link. It's simply a tracking sequence that YT autogenerates to track where incoming links are being referred from.

Dear Feeder at one point was so offended by YouTube's antics that he tried to make Invidious the default player for all YT embeds on the site. But it was abandoned in one of the overhauls.

Ive had links recently that were at least 3 sections longer than this, nearly hitting the length of an amazon link

 

[REGENDarySumanai]

I wonder if YouTube has been shitting itself on their end because someone I was talking to has been having problems watching videos throughout the day.

I bet there are 20+ ads in the 1 hour video. They're probably hoping a certain % of listeners will be asleep or too busy working to skip the video. If a jeet farms 100 accounts like that, and each 1hr video entraps 100 people each month, he can probably scam a living wage for India.

and then all those ads are for degenerate gambling sites.

My hoarded mp3 files on my PC will come into handy more again soon, it looks like. Most of them are not the best quality, since they're gotten via the YouTubetomp3 days. I just mostly use YouTube for music nowadays,

I've been thinking of what to save. RLM, AVGN, but my main use for YouTube is slop gaming content. Things like Drae, Let's Game It Out, Splattercat Gaming, Olexa, etc.They make for great night time viewing. I do have some saved, but the problem with that kind of slop is it uses a lot of space and it's good for new nightly content. I'd burn through archives quick.

As for music, it's weird how there isn't really a good way to "keep" the music these days. Sabaton might sell CDs, but you go any less mainstream than that and streaming is all you get.

I've been using Soulseek (switched client to Nicotine+ recently, it's much better) for 20+ years and it's still good. I keep everything I need and use mp3tag, Tag&Rename and Album Art Downloader to edit tags and save cover art. I have an HDD that I only connect once a month to do backups. I don't care about FLAC because it takes up too much space and it's not like I can tell the difference.

I remember encountering something similar on some video from a popular YouTuber (think someone like vsauce). I was checking the description and I saw that the featured music in the video (the auto-detected song list thing) had some song with a Jeet on the cover art. Now, I heard zero jeet music in the video itself, so I clicked on the linked music album to see for myself what it was, only to find out it was like a ~30 minute "song" where at first it plays some generic Bollywood tune, then suddenly a bitcrushed version of the video's audio starts playing from start to finish. So I guess the current meta for Jeets to get that easy YT copyright money is to upload "songs" with audio ripped directly from a popular video and then retroactively claim copyright.

The list of groups of people who I know the world would be better off without keeps increasing and pajeets and their shithole homeland get higher and higher in the list...
