Is now a paid feature?
Was playback over 2x (through the official app) ever supported for free?

[–] MrKoyun@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

revanced and smarttube

[–] Kissaki@feddit.org 21 points 2 days ago (1 children)

That's so stupid it feels like satire. But I guess it's not too surprising.

I have my own speed control that I can adjust or enter max speed for.

[–] QuandaleDingle@lemmy.world 3 points 2 days ago

Wait until they find some stupid way to lock down Chrome extensions. I just know they will.

[–] ygurin@lemmy.world 7 points 2 days ago (6 children)

Yeah Google has been "toll-bridging" features into paid-premium since removal of ability to pause with screen off in YouTube.

I wouldnt be surprised if corporate greed forces them to remove pausing videos altogether. Not premium can't pause!

[–] Scrollone@feddit.it 6 points 2 days ago

I don't care when my only way to watch YouTube it's either:

  • on Firefox with uBlock Origin
  • on ReVanced
  • on SmartTube (for Android TV)
  • by downloading the video through yt-dlp
[–] markovs_gun@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago

This is why I am just going to pay networks of my favorite youtubers directly when YouTube finally gets too bad to use. I'm never paying for RedTube or whatever the fuck porny ass name their premium service has so that Google gets most of my money and Mr beast gets a cut while the people I actually watch get nothing. I pay for Dropout already and that shit is so much better than Netflix and other services. Sure it's low budget but it's still better than the slop all the big companies are shoveling out of their troughs.

Don't give them ideas

Then it'll become a premium feature to choose your videos otherwise you'll have to consult a personalised video guide to see when the videos you want to watch will be playing.

[–] ygurin@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago

Pretty much a traditional tv

Laughs in Firefox, which allows plug-ins in mobile. I can have all my ad blockers and video speed controllers, and anything else.

[–] Danitos@reddthat.com 1 points 2 days ago

You should give NewPipe or Tubular (NewPipe fork with sponsor blocker) a try, it provides a better user experience.

[–] three@lemmy.zip 38 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago) (2 children)

Laughs in forks that include sponsorblock

NewPipeX

PipePipe

[–] TheBunGod@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago

Just use ReVanced

[–] fubarx@lemmy.world 27 points 3 days ago (4 children)

I can barely follow and absorb anything at 1.5-2x.

Beyond that, more power to you.

[–] EndlessNightmare@reddthat.com 13 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) (1 children)

Yeah, this change has no practical effect on me. But removing and paywalling features is concerning nonetheless.

[–] knexcar@lemmy.world 11 points 2 days ago

Speeds over 2x were never a free feature, they just used to not be an option at all.

[–] QuandaleDingle@lemmy.world 3 points 2 days ago (1 children)

I'm ADHD and I can't do it. XD

For extremely slow speakers 3x is possible.

Lol nope, out of principle I will never pay for this even if I didn't already hate Google.

It feels so condescending to the user, so unconcerned with their agency that I could never bring myself to support this choice with even a tiny amount of money.

It was never a free feature; they used to only allow up to 2X speed. Not that that justifies it at all of course.

[–] kittenzrulz123@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Wdym? I can literally increase to 5x speed on my YouTube client for free rn

[–] Wrufieotnak@feddit.org 3 points 2 days ago

I could also only increase the playback speed to 2x at maximum. Firefox and no YouTube specific add-ons are used.

Download it and play it however you want in VLC.

[–] PillowD@lemmy.world 5 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

They found out a simple tampermonkey script could speed the ads up to 16x

[–] londos@lemmy.world 12 points 3 days ago

$('video').playbackRate = 3;

[–] tal@lemmy.today 17 points 3 days ago (4 children)

You can use yt-dlp to download it and play it in whatever movie player you want that supports variable speeds, unless and until YouTube cracks down on downloading.
