          Redditors writing bots to make reddit more reddit. This website is already just reddit junior, it doesnt need more reddit, IMO.

          Im probably just being boomer brained but i get big reddit vibes from the bots that interact with people.

        Well maybe one day Lemmy will automatically provide us alternative links, but for now I'm appreciating it. Even opening up vids in incognito contributes to how YouTube serves your IP recommendations and there's slop I'd just rather not have to worry about being associated with.

        Also, you know you can turn off bots in your settings, right?

          That's beyond lemmy's scope, though I suppose a client could do it. Bots are just fine

    The enshittification is complete. The era of peertube/invidious/piped has begun!

    honestly youtubers have a gazillion social media handles nowadays so it's not even worth having an account.

      I also haven't experienced any adblocker failures on youtube yet, with firefox & ublock origin.

      So far my adblocker is winning, I got a few times where the video froze and the audio kept going, but even that seems to have stopped for now.

    I like how the guys programming the Firefox ad blocker extension are racing to outrun Youtube and sometimes overtaking them.

    Also using firefox and ublock. It hasn't gotten me yet, but I'm dreading the day because it's seemingly being rolled out to more and more people everyday.

    They're doing it so slowly to limit the number of people they piss off at once. By the time the last batches of users get the rollout, the first batches will have already burnt out being extremely angry about it.
