A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.

Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

So Elon gutted Twitter, and people jumped ship to Mastodon. Now spez did... you know... and we're on Lemmy and Kbin. Can we have a YouTube to PeerTube exodus next? With the whole ad-pocalypse over there, seems like Google is itching for it.

Youtube is great as long as you don't read the comments

The ads are out of control, so no, it's not great unless you use an adblocker, which on mobile doesn't work with the native client.

Alternatively, you could access it with Premium ‘from Argentina’ like I do. It costs me about £3 a month, which I’m fine with.

The problem is that Premium screws you too - you have issues using downloaded content if you're not connected WTF.

I literally only have it so I can watch YouTube on Apple TV without wanting to put my foot through the TV. Without some kind of ad blocking, YouTube is completely fucking unusable.
