Like even if there were no ads you'd learn how to help in a timely manner.

"What's up guys! It's me, your boy, MikeyMedic here with another video of a standard first aid technique, the Abdominal Thrusts!! Now the Abdominal Thrust is a standard first aid trick that is used to help someone when they're choking 5 minutes on things you can choke on Speaking of food to choke on, our sponsor this week is FoodBox! 3 minutes of FoodBox ad Abdominal Thrusts used to be called the Heimlich Maneuver! Henry Heimlich was... 5 minute history on the Heimlich Maneuver and now I'm going to perform an abdominal thrust on my friend, Someguy420! Check out his videos on another 2 minutes for a partner plug and then 1 minute on how to perform abdominal thrusts And that's how you perform an abdominal thrust! Be sure to check out my other videos. 3 minutes on other video content, liking and subscribing and hitting that bell."

I would like to shill Sponsorblock, an extension where users can select sections of a video, mark them as "introduction" "non-music" or "sponsor" and it automatically skip those sections for other users who arrive at that video. It has made using Youtube so so so much smoother.

I would've read your comment l, but I'm using sponsorblock and it automatically blocked your comment.

It's not called Heimlich anymore? I guess i have to watch some MikeyMedic videos...

[-] chiliedogg@lemmy.world 22 points 1 year ago

Heimlich started trying to discredit back blows without any evidence and was being kinda a dick about it, so the Red Cross renamed the "Heimlich Maneuver" to "Abdominal Thrusts."

Sounds like the title of a weird and intense Grey's Anatomy fanfic

Literally what youtube has become.

Friends, if you haven't already done so: Adblocker + Sponsorblock = sanity.

[-] Quill7513@slrpnk.net 8 points 1 year ago

Don't forget the 5 minute request before you've even seen the start of what you're interested in that you like, subscribe, and request notifications

[-] marx2k@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago

Damn, it's like i just finished watching pretty much any YouTube video.

"Sorry your gran's dead, but you can get YouTube Premium for £12.99 a month for an ad-free experience."

Cyberpunk isn't too far off..

[-] Ensign_Crab@lemmy.world 29 points 1 year ago

I remember when cyberpunk's vision of the future was grounded in ridiculous cynicism instead of a charitable assessment of reality.

Your grandmother is choking. YouTube believes in preventing elder abuse. You are an unfit guardian. Your grandmother will be put in the custody of YouTube. YouTube: “Fuck you, I’m streaming.”

The real Mildly Infuriating is that someone directly copied one of Stephen Merchant's tweets word for word.

[-] Drinvictus@discuss.tchncs.de 82 points 1 year ago

YouTube is not Wikipedia or fucking EMS

[-] over_clox@lemmy.world 72 points 1 year ago

As true as that is, in an emergency people don't always have time to seek out professional help, and it ain't like calling 911 will magically make an ambulance appear in 30 seconds.

Also, the Institute Of Human Anatomy actually has a YouTube channel...

[-] geekworking@lemmy.world 68 points 1 year ago

911 dispatchers are trained and certified to provide concise and accurate medically reviewed instructions over the phone so that you are not just standing there waiting for the ambulance.

[-] deweydecibel@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago

Kids hate talking on the phone so much they'd rather get help from YouTube than call 911.

That's only partially a joke.

I think they mean that EMS will guide you through it over the phone.

should have been an ad blocker it's 2023.

[-] marx2k@lemmy.world 20 points 1 year ago

YouTube just started noticing my ad blocker and throwing pop-ups before video telling me to cut it out

Well I'm sure everybody here on Lemmy already uses ublock. The rest of society doesn't really know all these methods

[-] Zagorath@aussie.zone 14 points 1 year ago

Adblocking on mobile is much harder than adblocking on desktop, and if you're in an emergency situation like the one described, you're more likely on your phone.

Personally I use ReVanced, which incorporates adblocking as well as giving you Premium features like background playing & PIP (while also keeping the benefits of being signed in to YT, like using your playlists, comments, etc.). But if I were an iPhone user I don't know how I would watch YouTube.

[-] Rud_1UP@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year ago

Revanced is complicated because you first need to find a compatible YouTube version (old version) and download it's APK. Then, you need to uninstall YouTube, apply Revanced to the downloaded APK and then install it Only to discover the Cast button was removed by Revanced. When you start over, deselect "remove cast button from video player", you still end up without it.

I can't even cast to SmartTubeNext on AndroidTV..

Way too complex and too limiting for 99.99% of YouTube watchers.

[-] sandy_ravage@feddit.de 7 points 1 year ago

Maybe NewPipe is something for you, as it has most of the features mentioned above and is easy to install via F-Droid. I'm using it for years now and really love it!

Third party websites fix that problem. Also why are you looking up videos. Call emergency services.

[-] AttackPanda@programming.dev 26 points 1 year ago

Sorry Gran, EMS is 20 minutes out. Hope you’ve been practicing holding your breath.

[-] Fondots@lemmy.world 45 points 1 year ago

Yes, but 911 will provide pre-approval instructions for you and also start EMS

Source- am a 911 dispatcher

That said, a lot of our instructions fall a bit short of what you would learn from pretty much any first aid class, and we're not really allowed to deviate from our approved instructions for liability reasons. So if you're able to, everyone take some first aid classes. At the very least, you don't want the first time you're learning something to be in an actual emergency situation

To be fair, the people at 911 probably give better instructions than a Youtube Video.

[-] possiblylinux127@lemmy.zip 18 points 1 year ago

They can give you directions over the phone

I might just be old fashioned enough to think that YouTube probably shouldn't be your first stop in an emergency.

[-] Furedadmins@lemmy.world 14 points 1 year ago

A fish bone would most likely not obstuct grandma's breathing anyway, heimlich wouldn't help.

[-] m3t00@lemmy.world 12 points 1 year ago

tldr; typical false Tw strawman. gma died because you thought you could learn cpr as a youtube download in 10 seconds. try again
