Come on, that's why we have yt-dlp and yt-dlp GUI. Who even uses YouTube on the website anymore?

Fuck YouTube. Only thing I still like about it is the ability to find how-to videos on it.

For me.

This is how we all give Boatracecrook the cold shoulder and leave. The more people they block the better.

Boat race, is cockney rhyming slang for face.

At the very minimum, to protect future generations and our grand children and their children from; the banal, brainless, brain dead, manipulative surveillance.

I have never used Boatracecrook.

I must admit that as a new user on Lemmy, I do take umbrage at all the links to Boatracecrook videos that people feel they need to share and promote.

I trust people to watch the video and give a short written description, not add a poxy link in the avatar image.

I have got caught out more than once clicking on an user supplied avatar and I have been taken to poxy Boatracecrook.

To be honest, I was under the impression that lemmy was different and did not engage in the anti-human practices of Boatracecrook.

I cannot understand why anyone watching a Boatracecrook video, then suddenly decides to add a link for Lemmy users.

Then manipulatively hides the link in the avatar of the post, when the link could be added to the main text body for all to see, and give people a choice if they click on it.

I can only assume this is about self promotion and not about supporting the Lemmy community.
