[[[ Solved - Using FreeTube for now ]]]
It seems youtube is breaking into the middle of long-form video much more often. And most of the ads are for snake oil - Fear mongering “Tinnitus will KILL your brain in three years” baloney.
Is there a Fediverse equivalent to YouTube? Can the Fediverse be applied to this? Will it solve the above complaint?
I have been to Odysee but with very few exceptions none of the content I want is there (They have Veritasium, and minute Physics, but not Vsause, Technology Connections, or Stand Up Maths)
I don’t have the spare cash to pay for a thing like that. I am retired on a fixed income. I also will not turn off my U-block origin, I was surprised to find it was off. Those ads and all “Fill the hole” ads are a vector for malware. A website says we have a place for an ad here give us $$ for it. Ad broker sells that space. Anyone can buy that space and fill it with any HTML and PHP they like. Anyone, Anything.
That’s fair, I might not if I had to pay the current price. I got grandfathered in on a lower price. I block ads through a VPN on most sites, but YouTube ads are hard to block on mobile without more technical skills than I personally have.
