It's much worse if you have a VPN.

I tested this at Skipvids.com

This is more user friendly imo

I just use skipvids.com rather than installing an invidious fork that constantly breaks

This is why I switched over to skipvids.com

I've actually stumbled upon buckty before. I like the simple UI it presents as a tool that does one function really well.

What was your end goal? Sell ads and make five figures per month?

He spouted some nonsense. His financial ideology is one the UK government seem to be following, which is increasing the decline.

This would have been invaluable when I did my EEE degree many years ago. I use to draw the charge carries instead.

I De-Youtubed myself by switching over to skipvids.com

Never looked back

Good idea, although I think it'll soon be replaced by YouTubes own detection system

Are you using Safari?

This is cool. I built something similar.

Do you actually have background playback with locked screen? With the latest iOS video will auto pause when screen goes locked in PiP.

The latest iOS release made this more difficult to do via Safari.

I use skipvids.com audio (aud button) mode. It works most of the time in Safari on iOS. You can also watch in PiP (Picture-in-picture) mode.

I am glad someone is writing about this youtube on Chrome desktop regularly consumes over 1 gig of ram. Even running it on FF with uBlock doesn't seem to help much.

When I use 3rd party yt sites like skipvids.com I rarely go above 300 mb of ram

I wonder how long an honesty box in London or Birmingham would survive.

There was a time you could leave your valuables in most teashops in the UK and they would be safe.

Not no more. We lost our high trust society in most places.

This is sensible. My Mercedes has 3 different methods of using the touch screen, each one is fiddly. It's like the juice isn't worth the squeeze, just give me a nice tactile button like the good old days.

I created skipvids.com as a new type of interface check it out

The law is it's legal to abort up until the birth.

Granted UK clinic's are not regulated to do that (yet).

Most arguments from feminst men seem to reduce the moral difference between abortion and killing a newborn to only a few hours of labour. I find that deeply troubling. I think a lot of men have become cucked and are far too willing to accept feminist framing without questioning where it logically leads.

I'm interested in this. I built a For You feed for skipvids.com it attempts, but it needs refining

Yep i use skipvids.com to avoid shorts. I found myself endlessly scrolling like a junky

I welcome the AI to reddit, better than listening to the echo chamber, circle jerk discussions that go on there.

I've used I cannot figure out the real benefit of it beyond novelty purposes.

I find Chrome Claude extension more useful for automating tasks online. Before ai I was writing my own macros which basically did the same thing in a more reliable deterministic way.

I use skipvids.com across phone and computer and xbox. I'm too cheap to pay $15.99 per month

Which sites were you viewing the embeds on?

So you like the responsiveness and snappiness of an app?

Try skipvids search it removes all the noise, including shorts and ai slop

Skipvids.com recreates the old youtube subscription page experience pretty well.

If they created a simple webview app and framed the website would you use that or the website in your browser? I am just curious to what the OP classes as "convience and accessibility".

I find this an interesting topic. Since many users have requested my websites have an app, but I'm loathed to go through all the hoops of the app stores.

I write my goals. Claude drafts a plan. I then feed it to Claude Chrome extension for live testing. Claude Chrome extension will set up the console inspector, measure response times and change UA if it's part of the plan. I'm sure you could tell Claude Chrome extension "ok make this change on the fly" by injecting JS into the console and do AB testing and output the result in an easy to understand report.

I get it to do my testing for me aswell.
