Which is a Canadian company located in Vancouver.
Never said it wasn't.
Yeah. Ew.
There's certain Canadian companies I still avoid for my own reasons. Like Loblaws.
I can't wait for a Canadian Peertube instance.
Oh, owned by Linus Media. Yay?
:-/
I though peertube was more appropriate, can start servers local (Canada) but still federated
How is this a replacement for YouTube? As shitty as YT is, it's still free. With Floatplane You have to pay to watch anything, and you pay to each producer, depending on what you watch? I'd rather just look through Vimeo or something, because this definitely ain't it. A replacement needs to be as easy and as free as Youtube, otherwise it's just another streaming platform.
Linus is that you?
What if we want more than your stuff?
I have a pihole with the ability to block youtube ads fairly well, once my premium subscription is up, in November (I got it because I believed I was actually paying the content creators better with it), I am going to be blocking youtube ads.
Just so no one else gets confused here.
A pi-hole can not block YouTube ads. You need ublock(origin) extension or SmartTube for Android to block YouTube ads.
youTube_ads_4_pi-hole does a fairly good job with my limited testing, I am waiting for my premium subscription to run out in November but when I was not logged in it seemed to do a good job. Not 100% but it does a good job, in again my limited testing.
If I need an account to see my first video, you are not an alternative to YT. As ling as my VPN and adblocker works, I feel fine using YT until somethikg better comes along.
