#94That Noah movie looks absolutely "epic".
Re: FixYT
#95I think this is completely wrong approach. We as a community should stop giving G/YT our traffic if their stuff does not please us instead of making an effort to give them more traffic.
A bit rough, but yeah. The 3rd world is not yet ready to do this much video, because of mobile data prices. Let's stick to the awesome plain text solutions & low bandwidth media for now. (Canvas, cached SVGs, bluetooth & wifi, etc...) If we stick to text and backwards compatible media we can solve all internet problems by tying phones to balloons.
We should aim to make rms proud, but choose MIT because that code is more easily reusable.

Where would you host the videos? The amount of traffic they see, and the amount of videos they store is incredible. For example: http://9to5google.com/2013/11/11/netflix-and-youtube-account...
Self-host. YouTube produces massive amounts of traffic because it has so many videos. But if you divide all that traffic to small independent operators then the amounts would be far more manageable.
Once you are self-hosting you could alleviate any potential bandwidth issues with a CDN such as CloudFlare/Akamai and/or by using P2P protocols such as BitTorrent.

Sign me up, i want youtube to be killed dead!!!! Youtube is cool but google jumps in and just ruins your experience. They asked me 4 time before to adjust my name and i chose my current username....4 times. Now, for the last two weeks i have been getting this pop again but now i must apparently sign up for G+, when i try and comment, guess what that fu popup again, i cannot comment unless i join G+.I have been just c…
So all you have to do is start a tech company that does this. When Google knock on your doors, with literally one and half billion dollars of Google stock, you have to say "No".
Would you do that? Could you blame anyone else for doing that?

#98After getting fed up with the ongoing changes to subscriptions I created a barebones tool to act as a replacement. No Google/Youtube account needed, new videos are fetched using the API, setup is git clone and open in browser. https://github.com/adabei/tubeless/
Pro Tip: Just use github pages to instantly give people a demo. All you need for that is to make a gh-pages branch and rename your main file to index.html.

#99If it could get around youtube's annoying DASH and buffer the entire video while paused I would use it!
Look for the Youtube Center addon or extension. Among the many options is disabling DASH.
Careful, though - Google is fighting back against this and in many cases, you don't get all resolutions when disabling dash.

Thanks, that's a good idea. This would eliminate the need to download anything and make it usable from mobile without any additional steps!
