Good thing I have nebula.tv for when youtube breaks

Isn't that the thing that a bunch of YouTube creators pitch inside their channels along with VPNs and supplements? I would never consider it because the ads rub me the wrong way. Or is it some alternative frontend for YouTube that happens to have a similar sounding name?

It's a place for creators to host long form content (that the google algorithm now disincentivizes) as well as history content that can't show a lot of history because of "violence" (like the holocaust).

Youtube is demonetizing channels left, right, and centre.

It is a well-known fact that the moment YouTube goes down, the collective productivity of Earth increases by approximately 4,000%, which is immediately squandered by everyone going to Hacker News to read comments about YouTube being down. I myself have taken to podcasts… an ancient medium in which people simply talk at you for ninety minutes without a single sponsorship for a mobile game, and this is considered a failure

Never see these. Skill issue?

I'm inundated with them. YT has become borderline unusable. The homepage is nightmarish. Can't search for anything without being overwhelmed with shorts in the results, many unrelated to what I'm searching.

I also never get these. It might be because you interact with them.

Yeah, this could end up as the actual root cause of The Great Oops that I've been raving about for years. And Google probably would be the right company to fuck it up in the worst way possible since Google Knows Best In All Situations.

Please tell me more about The Great Oops

It's inevitable that one of the major cloud providers will irrecoverably delete all customer data with one single fat-fingered command. Though in google's case I'll also consider the prophecy to be fulfilled if they delete their own data.

It will forever be known as The Great Oops.

Nebula is actually quite a decent alternative/supplement to YouTube and worth the subscription IMHO.

I browse logged out. Interact when them I do not. The weight loss and solar scams are forced advertisements before every video.
