youtube is shadowbanning people's accounts

if you used an adblock they now fucking block you from using youtube's comments section of viewing the view section or being able to see the channel of the video

even if you disable all plugins, your account is blacklisted

WTF is this petty jeetness

>signing into youtube
why don't you fly out and give Mr. Pichai a blowjob too?

oh no
anyway

>Youtube banning worthless leaches off their platform
Why should they care about some cheapskates who spend hours on their platform costing them money?

>>106592656 (OP)
I don't have an account

>>106592656 (OP)
i'd say if anything it's due to you using sponsorblock but that's funny because that doesn't really lose them money it loses the creators money. but i bring that up because that hasnt been applied to me yet(A/B testing maybe), and i dont use sponsorblock.

>>106592656 (OP)
You're interpreting something wrong there because it happens when not logged in as well.

works on my machine

>mfw clearing cookies actually fixed the comment section issues
For now at least. But the older videos not showing up thing did not get fixed.

>>106592895
The comments thing doesn't affect everyone. Go to a channel that has videos older than 2 or 3 years and try scrolling down through their videos page, see if you can reach the real end (rather than it just stopping without showing you all the videos older than 2-3 years).

this is an entirely separate but interesting issue as well. its them just saving on data costs by only keeping the top/relevant stuff in the cache i guess.
but this has been happening for years, on google search too. the fact that you cant really go past page 20 (50 is the top limit i think), while they like to show you in the meta data
>11,500,000 results for this query!
this is basically a data saving thing though, because you can still find what you were looking for (ideally) you just need to define the search terms better instead of going into page 51-60

it sucks that they are doing it, but they are very money hungry and in the age of AI the more profit they can rake in from their already parasitical companies
>no customer service wagies
>all of their services revolve around data coming into them, and playing with it
>they dont need to create much
the better it means they can compete in the long run against someone like apple who has huge hardware costs already from their consumer business.

>>106592970
On YouTube at least, it has been a recurring issue, but not a "feature". Meaning that normally you could scroll down to a channel's last video (first video chronologically speaking) or from it if you sorted by Oldest. But on some days it would bug out and keep showing you the same video thumbnails over and over if you did that, instead of "actually" scrolling.

Google Search on the other hand does some really weird stuff, I've had it show me 10+ page numbers then reduce them to 4 when I clicked on the second page.

yeah thats due to DMCA shits, but cant really blame them for that. like blocking all the movie sites that you can find on yandex, thats middlemen making them cripple it.

>>106593099
I have no idea what we'll do should Yandex surrender to DMCA stuff as well. Maybe some obscure search engine will take its place, but right now Yandex is the only thing that works for that as well as image search (even if that was neutered as well, the competition is still worse somehow).

>>106592656 (OP)
Good, maybe this will cure your addiction.

>>106592719
saar

>>106592656 (OP)
So that's why. I thought it was censoring me for the videos I watched or something.

Still worth it to block ads.

Is their a piece of software I can load urls/subscriptions into and have work as a subscription feed?
I don't even watch on youtube, I just use yt-dlp now

>>106593721
Freetube should do the job.

>>106593766
the more people you tell about its existence the more reason youtube have to try and explicitly break it, just like they're doing to ad blockers now

>>106593784
>Don't use the third party app saar
>Just redeem Youtube Preimium saaaaar
Btw make sure to also install pipepipe (newpipe fork) on your phone too.

>>106593816
totally what i'm saying for sure dude, enjoying crying in a few months when it's broken permanently

>>106593766
Do you use freetube personally, will it export me a list of new video urls or can I at least right click for the URL to paste into yt-dlp?

>>106593892
NO, and also no. It's just a YouTube frontend.

>>106593835
Goggle doesn't have the talent left to break shit on purpose. It's why they're killing off sideloading entirely because they don't know how else to deal with Revanced.
I'm not scared of some curry coder who gets gemini to do most of his work for him.

>>106592656 (OP)
i use ublock to hide those already

>>106593901
>please login to protect our community
>ad blockers are against YouTube TOS
yeah everything's going to be fine totally

>>106593913
>don't break the tos saaaaaaaaaaaaar

>>106592656 (OP)
Either bait, A/B or you aren't UBOing hard enough.

>>106593989
yes just get your ability to play vids blocked that'll show the indians at youtube who's boss

>>106592656 (OP)
i have also noticed that while using adblock the videos load a lot slower

>>106593113
>Russia surrendering to the DMCA
I could see a lot of things happening, but that seems just way out there.

>>106593721
Probably able to use an RSS feed and send that to yt-dlp.

>>106592746
Myself haven't had one since 2009 when I got tired of getting banned for "hate speech". Only cucks and 65 iq shitskins think accounts are necessary or profitable in any way. If you're just watching shit, you don't need an account you retarded animals.

>>106594228
Videos will be locked to only logged in users before 26 rolls around mark my words.

>>106592656 (OP)
Use invidious

>>106594317
I thought this was coming 10 years ago.

>>106594349
You're absolutely right, it will never happen.

>block you from using youtube's comments section
Don't threaten me with a good time

>>106594361
Jewtube would never sacrifice all that ad revenue.

>>106594403
They're doing that to fight ad blockers, so you're kind of right... If you use an ad blocker while logged in they threaten to ban your account. If you're not logged in they prompt you to log in.

>>106593892
Yes, you can copy URLs from Freetube, you can also directly open videos in mpv from it.

>>106593721
yt-dlp can act like that itself. RTFM.

>>106593784
sybau. Where the fuck were you years ago? The time to gatekeep is long over.

>>106594679
>Where the fuck were you years ago?
trying to keep a gate while tons of idiots propped open doors...

>>106592656 (OP)
this issue existed for years, the page being this way at least. If you are only getting broken pages now you don't have enough shizo addons.

>>106592656 (OP)
I really don't give a fuck anymore. All platforms are kike'd, jeet'd and nigger'd. There's nothing worse saving from these (((corporations))).

>>106593721
rss

>>106594692
That's fair, but the horse left the barn a long time ago so you're just wasting your time now. It's inevitable mrbeast will have a video sponsored by yt-dlp.

>>106593721
if you wanna write something up, their API was quite generous if you loaded like 50 channels in a single call
but that requires you use an email, and they might've gotten stingier in 4-5 years last I tried
otherwise, every channel has a xml feed, limited to their latest 15 videos

>>106593721
i use my own youtube client
>>106593766
too bloated especially when you use a real video player instead of the built in player

>>106594862
Not touching that Tranny garbage

>youtube is shit
>check out alternatives
>all of them are for brainrotted politics obsessed schizos
I have the naive hope that one day a real alternative that doesn't suck will naturally emerge, but right now things are looking grim.

>>106595447
it's too late anon

>>106594009
It was doing that last night, but I'm not experiencing it today. My guess is the rollout was accidental, or the pushback from people freaking out about being censored made them back off.

>>106596083
Their A/Bs for YouTube can be pretty damn quick and random on who they choose.

>Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe" -disable-features=ExtensionManifestV2Unsupported,ExtensionManifestV2Disabled
you do this in the shortcut? i think i did a similar one in the regedit

>>106592656 (OP)
CTRL + F5
fixes it most of the time
YouTube is just coded like dogshit, I think ti's because I'm not on chrome (or, yeah, because of adblock)

>>106592656 (OP)
>oh no

oh no
anyway

someone really needs to make something like a torrent mirror of youtube (for new videos) so I can avoid the site completely.

>>106596417
and those torrents will be hosted where?

YouTube's comment section is all bots. Not sure what the problem is here.

>>106596480
I'm just an idea man. I'll let someone else solve that.
>>106596493
Yes, it's full of bots with pfp of asses and comments that end in 3 random emojis. How is it so tough to filter that? Why can't YT solve it?
