And not talking about the flashy bullshit thumbnails and titles that are not far from any crappy shitcoin channel. Just an example from a well known channel that is supposed to educate noobs about Bitcoin...

Just a total vomit of price predictions and talking about politicians and fiat maxis. FUCKING DISGUSTING. THIS IS NOT EDUCATION, THIS IS BRAINWASHING.

People who make these 'price predictions' are almost overwhelmingly people who don't:

Self-custody Run a node Coinjoin or Use Lightning.

I personally believe that Bitcoin is undervalued by the market... but I am not an idiot it is impossible to 'predict' exactly what that looks like.

And these videos and 'open faces' simply make Bitcoin look like a scam instead of the great money/asset/property that it is. It's looking past the stupidity that's important.

Almost every one has giant fiat numbers.

I wonder how different the algorithm is if you sign in, or actually use a google account every day? I don't log in. Google might force log ins soon.

LOL no way, I never login, not even with a throwaway account. Also my browser is blocking any intent of fingerprinting my history and each session open is a clean one. I will not give them not a single inch to data mine my activity. I also try to watch through invidious platform most of the YT videos if is possible (not all are allowed).

FUCK YOUTUBE!

Google might force log ins soon.

Is already forcing but not 100% required. If you use a VPN and is displaying that alert that you should login, just refresh and will pass on. If they will enforce login to watch videos, that will be their end.

It seems like I can hardly watch anything through invidious anymore. I can't wait for zapstream to take off.

One of my favourite aspects of Nostr. Darth is right, youtube is trash. The ads have gotten much worse too. Implacable. Rumble is a little better (generally speaking, I don't watch bitcoin content there), and I've noticed some improvements in their mobile app over the last year.

Agreed, we need more alternative platforms that also use Bitcoin. Rumble, Bitchute, Odysey, Vimeo, Dtube etc are still alternatives to YT but without BTC are going to die.

Another intent to concentrate Bitcoin content was https://bitcointv.com/, but seems to not have so much new content anymore.

The new model of v4v with BTC will take off soon:

and I think are some more but can't remember now.

feels like https://lightning.video is aiming at becoming the new 'Only Fan'

0 sats \ 0 replies \ @DarthCoin 23h

Is free market, it doesn't bother me at all. Is pay per view anyways. Watch my channel if you do not like "only fans" https://lightning.video/darthcoin or this guy that post only educational videos about Bitcoin https://lightning.video/btcandres

Last I checked a few weeks ago most of the invidious instances were blocked. do you have any working ones?

0 sats \ 0 replies \ @DarthCoin 22h

yeah sometimes are working sometimes don't. I think depends also of how the OP set the region, content etc. What I do is copying the video ID into https://yewtu.be/.

I've tried the Redirector browser extension with youtube videos to be redirected to invidious but is not working 100%
