Bianco TitanioOh wow, Youtube has fucked up everything yet again and @newpipe is now unusable...
SamuraiBeandogAre you seriously complaining that a company is trying to prevent you from pirating their content?
wizardbeardThis isn’t a method to access any paid content for free. At “worst” it’s an ad blocker.
And before you come up with some other shit, I’m from the pro-piracy lemmy instance. I don’t actually care if I hurt Google, and if I want to support a creator then pretty much any other fuckong option than giving them more ad impressions on youtube will get more money to the creator. We’re talking like 10,000 ad views for a few cents. It’s not worth it, and the majority of creators I watch actively endorse ad blocking.

It's not really an ad blocker when it just doesn't implement however Youtube does ads. Ss far as I know, Youtube doesn't even document how to implement ads.

Accurate.
I was simplifying it for the type of person who could possibly think NewPipe was piracy.
Dude, I don’t give a fuck if people pirate shit, go nuts. But to complain about a company trying to stop piracy is fucking stupid. What do you expect them to do just smile and be like ok here you go, invalidate our business model!
Bluegrass_Addictit’s not THEIR content… it’s the creators content. they are stealing it and trying to sell it to you under the guise of shitty subscriptions to a garbage application
When they upload it to youtube, it is youtube’s content. As I’ve said elsewhere, I applaud people circumventing youtube’s heinous system. But to complain that youtube is trying to stop you from doing so is fucking idiotic, of course they are going to try an prevent people from invalidating their business model.
@SamuraiBeandog @Bluegrass_Addict
Ah, do you're using yet another meaning of "piracy".
Not armed robbery on the high seas. Not copyright violation. But simply using open source where a proprietary business model exists.
As if that word wasn't already becoming meaningess.
I hate Google and Youtube. But I also hate stupid, entitled people.
