YouTube’s AI Tracks Everything You Watch — Stop This Now

Change.org

Fuck #youtube! I was having a nice New Year's celebration with my family and we pulled up a video so we could watch a countdown. As usual, there were some ads before the video started to play. No big deal. Then, there we are, less than a minute to midnight, another ad! Unskippable! I get that they need to show ads to fund the cost of all these videos, but fucking hell ads in the middle of videos? I never see this on my computer thanks to adblock. Next time I will use a computer.

FUUUUUCK! guess what?

Google (through their"music" platform) has ruined yet another video with can'tevenbringmyselftosay® "hey-aye":
-Paula Cole's "Where Have All The Cowboys Gone?"

Look! look at the mouth and features and general off-kilter vibe here.

Going back to AUDIO-ONLY and NOT the tube that is you.

Eugh YouTube is experimenting with new homepage ad embedding that Ublock has trouble picking.

You're owned by a huge, rich tech company, leave me the fuck alone!

There are now ZERO solutions to reliably view 24/7 livestreams from YouTube via either an FFMPEG derivative or a closed source third party (actively developed) app. #fuckyoutube @invidious

So... youtube is silently starting to shove their auto-generated mixes into every other youtube video i search up. There is no sign whatsoever that i am clicking into a mix, and sure enough when i do its an auto-generated playlist, y'know, the kinds that just plays trough without autoplay on?

This is very clearly intentional and predatory, to keep users watching when they just wanted to watch one video

You can see in the screenshot below a video highlighted with my cursor leading to a link with one of their mixes, despite the video looking like just a video

This fucking sucks, i noticed it happening because i have an extension to block the auto-generated lists and i saw it block these normal youtube videos, i turn it off, and discover this shit. can tech companies not try for five fucking minutes to milk every second of our conscious time?

on a positive note, this song, Cicatrices by Guilhelm Desq rocks

@rogerc2738 This is the right way to share a YouTube video: https://inv.nadeko.net/watch?v=m4UInu03jZM

URGH. The more they screw around, the more I personally think the effort to wage war from Google would genuinely take down the Great Firewall of China. #fuckyoutube

(BTW, Grayjay Desktop is not the same closed source script for the plugin as Android, so we are forced to wait.)
