Jesus what the hell is going on in those comments over there.
triple parentheses
unironic use of the word cuck
conspiracy theory about Google being a fake company
Welp.
“((( )))”? I thought that was a crowd saying something e.g “((( that’s what she said )))”. Or being a really fat dude. I remember :-))) being a smiley with a triple chin.
((( What does this mean to some people now? )))
Its 4chan slang for jews
I want to unlearn English now please

Confusing… that sounds positive. We should remember the atrocities committed against them. Funny how it was flipped to mean something bad.
IMO, it should be reclaimed. Just like “slut”, “queer” and other words are being reclaimed in a positive sense.

Jews.
Wat?
((( Google )))
Jews Google? Jews say Google? Google for Jews? Google by Jews? Google owns Jews? Google is owned by Jews? Google likes Jews?
How is that supposed to be interpreted?
Jews own Google
Thanks. Conspiracy theorists…
Yes.
It’s a symptom of a Lisp programmer on meth.
Imagine being an alien and receiving a message from earth with LISP code. The last 3MB would just be brackets.
((())) indicates that someone is allegedly Jewish. Sometimes they use )))((( for their own names to imply that they’re surrounded by Jews.
His comment section is pretty fucking wild.
I really hope Louis Rossmans’s fan base is less toxic. The fact that he has been on Tim Pool probably imported a lot of weirdos.
I’m all for right to repair but that dude has always been a weirdo, imo
I went to odysee once and saw the Babylon Bee advertised front page. Told me all I needed to know about the platform.

What’s wrong with the Babylon Bee? Isn’t that a site similar to The Onion?
Edit: lol downvoted for asking a genuine question?
deleted by creator
Yeah, I checked it out, and the jokes were rather lousy. The Onion’s jokes not always land, but they don’t feel lousy. I guess it’s because they’re still smart.
When they’re not doing that, it can actually be pretty good. Punching down is one of the main reasons why “the left can’t meme.” They can make spicy memes when they’re punching up. Rightoids needlessly punching down only drives away potential converts.

The bee claims to be satire to deflect criticism. Often it fails to satirize at all, and just says shit things with intent to claim “its a joke bro”
Much of The Babylon Bee’s content, while stated to be satirical, often misses the point of satire.
It doesn’t work to defend existing power structures.

If I remember correctly they’re owned by a conservative Christian company
You went against the cult. How dare you!

For real. I didn’t realize how bad all of the YouTube alternatives are. They are just flooded with neo-nazis and bigots. It just sucks with how we really don’t have much choice other than to use something like newpipe.
YouTube is also that way. It’s just that it gets buried down by the shitload of people who use it.
It could also be that those who want to see Odyssee and others fail, are the ones posting BS.
In my mind it makes sense that the more extreme people tend to gravitate from public circles and tend to land in places that have less moderation and more freedom of speech unfortunately.
There’s a reason speech isn’t 100% free. Yelling fire in a crowded theatre is never cool even when it’s Great White, but in our eternal September someone’s always lobbing the fart jokes because for their little mind it’s new and cool.
Odysee is pretty mixed, but all alternative platforms are going to attract people who were pushed out of mainstream platforms, which biases them toward weird political orientations.
So many alternatives get flooded with these crazy people
What the hell indeed.

Personally, I prefer peertube, but odyssee had potential… before the nutters. Peertube has this issue, too, but being decentralization, it’s more of finding an instance with less nut. Like soy, nuts are in everything.

I was talking about the content creators that post solely on odysee specifically, as they tend to be as nut as the commenters (not always, of course). But you bring up a good point. There are two main problems with odysee…
How did you find the “care of” button instead of “%” symbol?
- The video’s comment section on its native site is… interesting.
- I don’t trust this guy. It feels like he’s just slinging things at the wall that most people could intuit without any research. Yes, sometimes things backfire when you try to stifle them. Sometimes, however, the stifling works (otherwise dictators would have a much harder time ruling). That’s just the way things go.
- I’ma need some actual data to back up Youtube’s anti-adblocker experiment succeeding/failing. People are so quick to jump on the ‘it failed’ or ‘it succeeded’ bandwagon but the truth is we simply don’t know the result yet, and may not for a long while.
- This could’ve been an email. This guy’s delivery is sprawling and lacks conciseness.
He’ll often take a two minute point and then extend it by 10 minutes.
He’s also one of those people who acts like everyone who doesn’t use Linux is a sheep. Linux is fundamentally not ready for widespread desktop use. The only way I see that changing is if a corporation decides to make their own distro and find a way to monetize it. It would also need to be pre-installed.
I have some tech savvy friends who caved in a took a YouTube premium sub because they didn’t know the fix to refresh ublock rules.
So I think YouTube’s strategy is working, even if they are not completely blocking blockers they are still converting some blockers to paying users.
It’s funny cuz I had an ad blocker that worked on Youtube for a while but then stopped working one day. That was 3 years ago and I was too lazy to find a better blocker. Since they started putting that pop up in EVERY video, that prompted me to finally install a working one. Good job, Youtube. Ya played yaself.
I could deal with the 2 ads at the beginning of the video and the end but when they added ad interruptions in the middle of 5 minute videos and had ads covering the comments on every video. Yeah, screw off YouTube.
I just sideloaded uYou and it doesn’t even know what ads are so it never loads them. I would never had bothered circumventing the ads if they were reasonable, but they aren’t. They want everyone on premium and obviously have disdain for non-premium users. Have no zero respect for that kind of business.
I was OK with a couple of ads in the beginning until their system went bonkers. For days it fed me the unskippable Kingsman movie trailer every single damn video I tried to watch.
That and my favorite Youtubers (mainly Red Letter Media) fighting Youtube which auto-inserted ads in the middle of their videos against their will, really cemented my ad blocker usage. They kept configuring their videos removing the ad placement and the ad was readded automatically. Now thankfully they are demonetized so Youtube ignores them.
tldw?
His argument is:
- A lot of people were using poor adblockers.
- Youtube can block the bad ones but struggles with the good ones.
- People switch to the better adblockers (some of which require a subscription)
Which is why you always finish your antibiotics
I wonder how true that is for the average user
My father disabled ublock because it didn’t let him use YouTube. I sent hima tutorial on how to update the list and purge the cache but it was too much work for him
Use Ublock Origin, not Ublock.
I meant ublock origin
Didn’t know there was a “vanilla” ublock
Consider using VNC and simply doing the work for him. I find I just do not have the time to coach them through a document and I just do all this stuff for my parents instead. Life’s too short to explain where the any key is.
I’m hearing first time that some of the adblockers require subscription… Like, there’s ublock origin, the one and only god out there, why would you like to go somewhere else, even closed source?
Edit: damn autocorrect
There is one mistake in this Video. Ublock origin doesn’t accept donations the last time checked.
You’re right: uBo doesn’t accept donations out of integrity but they propose people donate to the list maintainers on which it depends instead.
Can you share some details, I can not find anything about it on their github page.
Sure, it’s right on their README: https://github.com/gorhill/uBlock/blob/master/README.md#about
Free. Open-source. For users by users. No donations sought.
If you ever want to contribute something, think about the people working hard to maintain the filter lists you are using, which are available to use by all for free.
“oh no, anyway” moment…
I thought odysee was dying because LBRY got got by the SEC?
TIL Odysee has Reddit comments.
