@regehr it's become almost unusable for me. I've been trying to find alternatives to use but haven't been very successful.

@ruba @regehr I use the web interface to browse, then download with yt-dlp. Needs a lot of drive space if you're planning to ingest whole channels though.

@ruba @regehr fyi there's now a popup if you use an ad blocker in selected countries

this popup is already showing for me, I guess I got hashed into the unlucky experiment group

@n0mads @ruba right, they've already shut me down totally, there's no way to clear the popup now

@n0mads @ruba @regehr Imagine if there was a browser extension that created a popup for the CEO / Board members every time their servers used an "ad inserter", in selected countries. πŸ˜‚

@ruba @regehr same shit if you use YouTube in a mobile browser instead of their app. They keep moving or hiding functionality.

@ruba @regehr Idk, they've always been slow for me in general - unironically peer tube loads so much faster for me
