Translated to English: To continue, turn off your VPN/Proxy. This will allow us to track you better and serve you personalized ads that make us more money while destroying your privacy.

Maybe I don't want "the best content".

And if I did, why would I have come to YouTube?

Grayjay... is the one that holds a solution for your problems...

[-] Hoticeberg@lemmy.world 0 points 2 months ago

This stopped working for me a few months ago.

[-] Truscape@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 2 months ago

Consider hitting the "update" buttons in the sources and main settings tab.

[-] Hoticeberg@lemmy.world 0 points 2 months ago

Very Funny. I have revisited it several times, fully updated, and it still doesn't play YouTube videos.

Weird. It continues to work for me, as recently as this morning. Maybe delete and re install?

[-] Hoticeberg@lemmy.world 0 points 2 months ago

Ok I reinstalled and I'm still not able to play video. The feed loads, but the video never loads. The update did change things, as before the whole page of the app froze but now I can click on me u items.

What the heck is your hardware or software environment? Even on GrapheneOS I have all of the dependencies needed for the app to function.

Are you running some ancient, discontinued release of Android?

Youtube can locate deez nuts

[-] SeeMarkFly@lemmy.ml 2 points 2 months ago

My ad blocker won't let me watch YouTube. It thinks it's an ad itself. Works for me, no ads

"""Best content""""

[-] Aceticon@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 2 months ago

After getting this shit for a while I just installed a Firefox extension called LibRedirect that whenever I click on a YouTube link it just sends me to an alternative (I have it configured to use invidious) instead.

Problem solved.

I have to turn off my VPN just to use Lemmy 😭

[-] incompetent@programming.dev 1 points 2 months ago

Why? I've never had that happen here.

[-] LemmyKnowsBest@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago

I wish I knew why.

[-] Gladaed@feddit.org -1 points 2 months ago

To be fair: there may be licensing issues or geo blocked content which they are forbidden from serving you and must make a reasonable effort.

[-] Lumidaub@feddit.org 5 points 2 months ago

Maybe they should say so then instead of pretending they're concerned they might not be able to serve "the best content".

[-] njm1314@lemmy.world 3 points 2 months ago

Who is that fair to exactly?

[-] 13igTyme@piefed.social 2 points 2 months ago

Maybe content shouldn't be geo blocked.
