Guess why I prefer to use invidious instances rather than YouTube… and it has nothing to do with profiling!
It's based on similar things as above? (it would help if you said it in this different context)
Thanks
Actually nowadays it's almost impossible to see a YouTube video without too many ads, and the most of them, which I suspect are expensive, are from charities.
Damn, if I see a starving kid I don't take a photo of him to pay someone to ask money to other people, but I give directly to him all the food I can!
@GustavinoBevilacqua
Do you mean in the video itself or before / after / around video?
@GustavinoBevilacqua
For 0 ads or to download directly
try https://yewtu.be
for example:
https://yewtu.be/watch?v=GKDY5YMpyUc
Although I encourage this way if you really feel you need YouTube as I use it less and have music offline for example or really if need research is something specific.
Yes, yewtu.be is one of the invidious instances I use, both to look and to link.
Many others are here:
But often other people use links to YouTube, and for short videos I don't always retype the URL.
Yup you need just to discipline the vid ID into any existing yewtu.be URL
so taking the VID ID
(example GKDY5YMpyUc)
and adding it to
https://yewtu.be/watch?v=
and you get
https://yewtu.be/watch?v=GKDY5YMpyUc
:D Not so hard in the address bar of browser to get URL :D
I made my own local javascript page where to insert a youtube url and get an invidious link, but sometimes I'm lazy ;-)
