Whenever someone complains about why their shared video link on YouTube ‘won’t work’.
It works, but people largely forgot that Google stupidly ruined that ability for everyone by making it mandatory that you be logged in to watch videos, so you’re not flagged as a bot. But, since you’re sharing a link to the video or embedding it, you can’t watch it anyways because the stupid prompt shows up, forcing you to go to the site itself.
To answer the topic - the value of my time.
To comment on the YouTube thing - AFAIK it only makes you log in if the video is flagged for mature content. Embeds still work fine otherwise.
No, it doesn’t matter the audience flag. People have posted videos on forums using the proper YouTube tag. They mind as well not have it anymore because again, Google being fucking Google, breaking shit that didn’t need to be broken.
YouTube links work perfectly fine on discord. Not sure what problem you are running into.
I rest my case.
Skill issue.
Ads are the real problem. At least for people who pay for premium. You can’t be logged in to prevent them. AFAIK.
Can try using a Pinole to block ads at a dns level 🤷
I already use dns level blocking. I don’t think that works for this specific case.
I just wish there was a way to log in and set my cookies in the electron app. It’s only frustrating for me because I pay.
You could just open it in the browsert
Are you using a VPN?
No
Do any privacy oriented things to your browser? Or have a lot of people who share your IP?
Because it works on my machine™️
