“”“Best content”“”"
I have to turn off my VPN just to use Lemmy 😭
Why? I’ve never had that happen here.
I wish I knew why.
Youtube can locate deez nuts
You should feel flattered. They’re saying that your private data is the best content.
Had a similar issue with a singular video using Freetube. Had to download the video itself through ytdl-p in order to view it. Wasn’t a total waste but wasn’t a video I’d recommended either. There was zero chance I was gonna just skin and scalp my internet privacy and safety for that singular video.
After getting this shit for a while I just installed a Firefox extension called LibRedirect that whenever I click on a YouTube link it just sends me to an alternative (I have it configured to use invidious) instead.
Problem solved.
My ad blocker won’t let me watch YouTube. It thinks it’s an ad itself. Works for me, no ads
Grayjay… is the one that holds a solution for your problems…
This stopped working for me a few months ago.
Consider hitting the “update” buttons in the sources and main settings tab.
Very Funny. I have revisited it several times, fully updated, and it still doesn’t play YouTube videos.
Weird. It continues to work for me, as recently as this morning. Maybe delete and re install?
Ok I reinstalled and I’m still not able to play video. The feed loads, but the video never loads. The update did change things, as before the whole page of the app froze but now I can click on me u items.
What the heck is your hardware or software environment? Even on GrapheneOS I have all of the dependencies needed for the app to function.
Are you running some ancient, discontinued release of Android?
This is installed on a pixel 8. Here’s a acreen grab of the video endlessly loading.
Translated to English: To continue, turn off your VPN/Proxy. This will allow us to track you better and serve you personalized ads that make us more money while destroying your privacy.
Otherwise there would be an option called ‘Nah, thanks, I’m fine with suboptimal content’.
