Seconded

Oh I usually block the ads via a pihole and don’t even bother logging in. Tubi is great

Yeah but if they double the price and only lose 1/3 of their customers that is a profit. They are aiming for that equilibrium price and honestly more people are willing to pay to never have their entertainment end than we could ever hope for.

So this has been true of YouTube Red since the beginning. It’s one if the reasons I got it. But they use watch time as the way to divide your money out. It actually makes it extremely unfair split for people that make great but short content. It’s also why longer content became more popular around that time and those 24/7 streams run like that.

Also why creators started doing channels of just padded run time content of like building legos and eating things. It’s to secure better and funding.

The current setup is pretty busted and feels like the wheels are coming off again.

That’s like actually the next line though.

“Amerika, coco-cola, wonderbra”

Its the actual joke that they have all the same products.

That came after the us government pushed the swedish government

🎶 We’re all living in Amerika, Amerika ist wunderbar 🎵

Yeah I have paid for YouTube Red since it was YouTube Red.

I’m pretty sure they don’t want want me anymore cause they have made my whole experience worse and trying to get more and more money and attention out of me.

I really should stop paying too but they are literally making it so there is no alternative and I hate paying on patreon but watching on YouTube with ads

1,200 movies
200 shows
Smattering of books and a few GBs of music
Oh and every game for every console older than the PS2

Originally across multiple 4tb external drives but been mostly pushed to one nas 8tb drive in my case.

I meant like 480p with an encoding error that makes it not able to be fast forwarded without crashing.

It that being the only way to watch it without hunting down a VHS kinda thing

LOL it always the hot garbage that I’m shocked I managed to find that I try to seed as long as possible almost as an apology for making someone else have to host it to give it to me.

But I will say sometimes it’s just a bad quality and it’s hard to figure out if it’s worth keeping it around because it’s the only version available or letting it die.

I’m glad!

It’s really actually quite usable, like actually I think I use it more than any other search or site.

I honestly don’t know why it’s not on from the start other than maybe like a legal thing “oh they have to enable the piracy”.

Oh do you know that QB offers plugins for public and private sites? I don’t have any private ones but they have a bunch. Plus you can actually search specific sites there is a whole menu for it. Totally doable if maybe a bit clunky I guess.

Yeah I don’t get the Arrs.
I guess it would help with the shows that drop weekly but it’s honestly a bit fun to hunt for them.

Hey, come on I hadn’t checked back yet to upvote it too… but yeah holy moly that’s great to know and also still a pain.

Wait is that yet another torrent search tool that then gets searched through the built in torrent search tool? What?

I don’t get the purpose of all these middle-man apps, am I too old for this?

I have UBO and had to disable it, refresh the page, then re-enable it, and refresh the page again and even then I still get the popup but at least it gives me the option to click download anyway. Maybe it’s a browser thing, maybe it’s an IP address thing. I dunno but it’s buggy as hell and super unreliably coded.

God sometimes I wish I knew what that was or cared enough to go through the effort of installing it but I am so content with slow installing and also it’s nicer on my limited storage.

Yeah it’s hidden but not. Super weird because it’s so darn good at it’s job.

It’s under the “View” drop down menu as “Search Engine” and it literally just adds a tab to let you search and import torrents right in the software.

Nyaa I think I needed to add it as a plugin but there is actually a super convenient little button on the bottom right of the search tab called “Search Plugins” which has a link to all of them and then you just install it via the URL copy and pasted into the box.

Takes like maybe 2-3 minutes if you know where all the buttons are so maybe assume 15 just for the shock value of never knowing this existed and figuring out the button placement but very low effort.

Let me know if you need help finding the buttons or anything.

Ignorance is totally fine and it’s insane they don’t make it easier to find since it’s so helpful.

So it’s actually enabled via the “View” drop down menu.
Will actually be the option that says “Search Engine”

And from there you should just see a little tab appear at the top underneath the quick action buttons called search with a magnifying glass.

Bottom right of the screen has the abilities to add more search sites via plugins and are really easy to import directly from URL and I like to keep my search just to enabled sites because some of them are in foreign languages.

Let me know if you need more help.

Hey just a heads up but I personally am a big fan of using QBtorrent as it has an internal search function that lets you search all kinds of sites and get the magnet links without even ever opening the website and if you want to you can right click and have it open the webpage anyways to double check the torrent.

Also I was able to add Nyaa as a search option so searching for anime has been a lot easier.

I had to help someone with this website crap just earlier today and will keep recommending using QBtorrent because of this.

Oh no the adblocker makes it worse here actually. It just blocks the buttons but the popup still appears and has no x button to close it.

This was an an insanely garbage attempt from 1337x to push their own VPN harder.
