I watch YouTube through newpipe, and recently tried pipepipe too. They work great, but lately I have been blocked on several occasions with a message that either says "content unavailable" or "your IP has been blocked by YouTube". I usually use a VPN which has helped but tried it today and still got this message :/

Finally changing the location on the VPN seemed to work. But seriously wtf is going on?

Please give me an example of content that you can't find anywhere else?

It's "degoogle", not "limit google use"... And no, it's not impossible. What a myth to spread in this forum. :-)

I feel like you have to be trolling to ask for an example of a youtube video you can't find outside youtube. Obviously most creators don't crosspost their videos to something like bilibili or dailymotion or peertube.

Why are you trying to gatekeep getting away from google (degoogling) by claiming you have to completely abandon anything google owns for it to count? You're being weird.

[–] Core_of_Arden@lemmy.ml 1 points 10 hours ago

I didn't ask for a video specific to YT. I asked for a topic, for information, that you couldn't find anywhere else online, but on YT...

You must be a troll, to try to act stupid, or to consciously try to change the focus here!

You are truly weird for saying that degoogling is about anything else than to stop using google. Now, stop trolling!

I really dont know what answer you expect on that. It's no secret that the vast majority of creators only upload their videos on YouTube. Should they mirror them on something like Peertube? Well, yeah, but this is not in your control.

It's "degoogle", not "limit google use"... And no, it's not impossible. What a myth to spread in this forum. :-)

Please answer to me honestly. Do you block all Google related domains on the DNS level including anything related to Google reCaptcha? If yes, please tell me how exactly you are using the web in 2025? And if you don't, then you are still relying to Google services.

Ethoslab

easily found other places than YT... Next time, try writing a meaningful sentence.

[–] octoshrimpy@sh.itjust.works 2 points 2 days ago (1 children)

AFAIK Etho does not upload anywhere other than YouTube. Go ahead and post a link that isn't a reupload. I've not found any.

[–] Core_of_Arden@lemmy.ml -1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

It's literally on Ethos own homepage: https://etho.tv/ Twitch is a fine example.

And anyway - as I said, you can find a lot of people playing MC anywhere on the internet. And it's not like its crucial information for people...

"etho.tv: welcome to ethoslab, (An unofficial chobblesome fan site)"

Links to Twitter, twitch, and YouTube. Twitch is for streaming, not for video uploads. Cmon man, why are you being this obtuse on purpose?

[–] Core_of_Arden@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Why are you being stupid? Seriously, tell me what etho has uploaded, that is important information, that you can't find anywhere else online? I'm still waiting, for are you just being obtuse on purpose?

[–] octoshrimpy@sh.itjust.works 0 points 1 day ago (1 children)

You are correct, it's not "crucial information". Alas I have a feeling you'd argue art also is not crucial. You should look up a fellow called Maslow and the pyramid he built.

Also, ad hominem alongside a few others

[–] Core_of_Arden@lemmy.ml 1 points 23 hours ago

You are funny... Etho is art, is that your claim? Or are you just making a stupid and childish straw man here? 🙃

Uh, you want to debate Maslow, then please tell me which of the pyramids he presented, you'd like to talk about? And please tell me, how that in any way makes someone playing MC crucial to peoples lives?
