Do the paid subscribers get compensated for the loss of service?
I'm guessing they don't.

#65That explains the playback errors I started getting around an hour ago. Wasn't sure what was going on, but I didn't think it was a wider outage since I did after a couple of minutes manage to get it to playback a video I wanted to watch.

Yeah it's working for some and not working for others as the network is split across many regions I'm guessing. Was down for an hour for me as well.

So in the stats it will look like a case where the revenues remained steady but the bandwidth costs went down. Great success :)
Task failed successfully - YouTube. Ads also have a tendency to load at higher quality even when there are bandwidth restrictions on cellular networks. We're all being forced to watch 360p videos on our $100/month cellphone plan, but somehow everybody is aligned to give us 4k ads, and waste our battery and bandwidth.
You should probably just switch to using Firefox on Android or Orion on iOS and just use ublock origin

#68These problems likely stem from Google's latest attempt to nuke NewPipe, PipePipe et al.
Just had a message from PipePipe. Quote:

YouTube has just rolled out an update that effectively blocks our current implementation for video stream extraction. This affects both anonymous and authenticated (login based) fetching. We are actively working on a solution. Thank you for your patience!"

Haha yes you and me both. These shorts are horrible. I know everyone hates on them, but they are brain crack for me and I can watch them for hours. I'm pretty sure they devastate your ability to focus though. I really notice it when I've been watching heavily. Something like chronic weed smoking in effect. I never got on tiktok thank goodness. And no I'm I'm not going to pretend I watch a lot of enlightening long for…
Honest question: Why do you keep it on your phone then? If some habit had this bad of an effect on me I’d be going to lengths to cut it out of my life.
Because I enjoy it! Maybe I should have made that point stronger in my original post.
It's way better than watching silly movies or playing video games (which I never got into for some reason).
But it does require heavy moderation. Under half an hour in the evening only seems to be fine.
