After going nuclear against ad blockers, at some point google is going to introduce a new “feature” where YouTube uses AI with your phone’s camera to automatically pause videos when you look away from your phone.

Then they’ll make it so you have to buy a subscription to turn it off during ads.

Me if that happens:

jk, i barely use YT as it is. I'm waiting for the YT ToS update that causes a mass migration to peertube

Yea, that mass migration is not something I see happening...

[-] pemptago@lemmy.ml 2 points 6 months ago

I would say there's been a mass migration from Twitter to Mastodon and from Reddit to Lemmy. The current numbers are still a small fraction of the original services, but the federated services have reached a critical mass where they now offer comparable value. YouTube hasn't been ubiquitous for that long and it's already pretty enshittified. I see a lot of people who are fed up with it and looking for an alternative. The peertube platform is there, I think with more people and content and it'll join the ranks.

Tbh I figured they have bots crawling social media to find out what people are using to avoid their annoying, intrusive, abusive practices and use that to get ever more obnoxious.
