In the lght of recent events (gloogel complaining about uBlock) I tried to investigate other available options out there. While Piped.video definitely works, it looks like it is only fluid for popular videos, and as soon as I want to watch something a little more obscure, it is basically impossible, I have infinite wheel spinning.
Have anyone here tried self hosting Piped/ Invidious, and could share a feedback about performance /usability ?
Sounds like a loophole that would be pretty easy to cover from YT? Why would they be so generous and not showing ads in playlists
Wierd lol
yeah I know, makes no sense. I'll use this workaround for as long as possible, but I'm sure I'll have to move to Piped or Invidious sooner or later.
Playlists usually don't have eyes watching so businesses don't want to pay for their ads on playlists.
The thing is, I do see ads when I open the embedded video/playlist on youtube! I don't think businesses would specifically avoid embedded playlists, but then happily advertise on playlists on youtube. It just looks like an oversight rather than a business decision to me.
Butbutbut radios don't have eyes watching neither? Lol
