    NewPipe had to update a couple of times in the past month because YouTube made changes that broke the 3rd party playback. First time it took a few days, but so far it seems they’ve been able to keep up with YouTube’s bs.

    I worry for a day when YouTube figures out how to make ads an unskippable part of the video itself so that they’re present with or without adblock, while also maintaining the ability to update them as needed.


  • Didn’t reddit also start introducing adverts as appearing like user-generated content? If that’s included in google’s indexing I’d actually prefer relying on older indexes of the site. It’ll probably be a while before new indexes are significantly more valuable for anything other than very specific inquiries than an index of however many years it was between reddit’s founding and last week, anyway. And that’s assuming that Reddit stays as central as it is and doesn’t lose any more market share to any other reddit-like platform (like Lemmy)
