    Imagine being the one creating the segment for a Mr Beast video. Instantly saved some years.

    Check out DeArrow. Made by same person to crowd source non-click bait titles and thumbnails (using a screen shot from the video).

    “You won’t belive this new gadget can do this” -> “review of (product name)”

    “I ate 100 hotdogs in a day!” -> “Mr. Beast knock-off #32 wonders the streets and eats 3 hotdogs at a few street shops.”

    My average has gone to hell since I set up my own Piped instance. Now I live on the backs of those that endure Youtube still.

      How does Piped work? It just downloads all of YouTube (lol), or you tell it to archive certain channels/subscriptions kinda like Sonarr and them?

        It just runs as a proxy front end and fetches the videos as you use them. You have to set up your channel subscriptions and then if you go to your Feed, it just shows the channels, and nothing else. No algorithm spamming up your feed. No ads, uses Sponsorblock

        It’s the way Youtube should have been. There’s a bunch of public ones, https://piped.video is the one run by it’s creator. Make an account and play around before you decide if you want to run your own instance.

          I see, interesting. Thank you for explaining!

          I feel like I must be one in a million, because I actually think the algorithm is being pretty good to me. It’s giving me so many interesting new suggestions and my Watch List keeps building up to where I will never have time to catch up and I just keep adding more and more.

          I guess I’ve just been very disciplined in watching videos that are interesting to me, and not allowing anyone to watch their shit on my account. If they do, I remove that history.

    Well now have a new service to use!

    I’m so tired of Nordvpn and raid.

    Like if you’re playing an indie game that sponsored the video, that is sick.

    I in no way wanna hear about man scaped while watching a Pokémon video.

    Now we just need people to stop abusing the “highlight/get to the point” option.

    Its great for “listen to my whole life story before I tell you how to fix this super obscure computer problem”

    Not so great for “watch me build this cool table” skips to the final result.

      You know you can configure to not autoskip those segments, right? You can always skip manually, if it’s that kind of video.

        I know, I’m just being picky. Someone likes to skip right to the end for a channel I watch every video, where the ‘journey’ is the intresting part.
