youtube videos on the site is showing "not available"

[Gravityqueen4life]

anyone know why?

They probably made it so videos don’t embed here.

Can confirm that this seems to be happening with every video while accessing the site through TOR. May or may not also force redirect to the Youtube homepage making it hard to get to the content as well. Aren't there some ways around this like tinytube or whatever it's called? Alternate sites that embed the video on their page?

youtubes been total shit for me since they introduced the age verification bullshit a few months back.

Been noticing it as well. I would have to agree with Gone Ham in that if it isn't a bug, it's YouTube deliberately disallowing embeds to here.

Alternatively, you can use youtube-dl and just upload the video directly to the site.

To shrink the file size (specifically for longer videos) you would type "youtube-dl -f 18 [youtube link here]" so that way its below the 200MB limit on here.

And the COPPA restrictions before that. Now that have this ridiculous ""Feature"" on mobile that forces any few second long video into a shitty instagram form factor where you can't do anything, not even scrub the video properly.

If this was an attempted embed from a different site it's still not working. Are they really blocking all of the domains?

 

[Just A Butt]

so you're saying it worked?

 

[tehpope]

I thought it was my vpn doing it. Didn't know everyone else was seeing it.

The mobile app has always been shit. I just go on youtube through the brave browser app, block all ads.

No, I mean this is IN browser on mobile. The only way around it is by using desktop mode, which is pretty shit on a tiny screen for Youtube. Any video with this lame shit is labeled "shorts".

I'm on desktop, not phone. It's doing the same for me - blocking all videos.

Transphobic e-criminals don't get to enjoy sharing the song they're currently listening to with other e-criminals, sorry.
