This whole new version of material is god awful. Makes all my apps look like they're for preschoolers. Marketing and design had to justify themselves again
Same here. One of my favorite car content creators started a livestream pretty much right when the outage started. Lots of people in live chat were having issues and couldn't see anything. The UI kept erroring out saying "player outdated".
Reading the comments here, they Uno Reversed themselves, blocking official frontend users (official yt app, website, etc.) and allowing unofficial ones (Pipepipe, NewPipe, and some others). Lol. Nice job, guys.
YouTube has been absolute dogshit on my Apple TV box, which ironically is the only place I’m not blocking ads. So ads aside I should be getting the best experience… but no. So most of the time I AirPlay my MacBook to my TV and just use Firefox. I mean outside the outage.

It does look like a giant tablet, like "kids will use this anyways"

The transport controls are gigantic now, take up a good chunk of screen real estate whenever u wanna just skim

But the ads were working.

I bet the outage was some new antiadblock nefariousness they're trying to implement.
Waffle@infosec.pub · 10 pts · 313d
Yeah I think that was the most frustrating part of it being down. The false promise of an ad...

It's been acting up a lot over the last day or so. I thought it was my ad block or something.
CaptainBlinky@lemmy.myserv.one · 8 pts · 313d
Same, but I tried turning it off to test and there was no change.
expatriado@lemmy.world · 15 pts · 313d

CaptainBlinky@lemmy.myserv.one · 3 pts · 312d

TuxEnthusiast@sopuli.xyz · 1 pts · 312d

Waffle@infosec.pub · 2 pts · 313d

CaptainBlinky@lemmy.myserv.one · 1 pts · 312d
ublock origin here, turns out it was an outage.
Tollana1234567@lemmy.today · 1 pts · 313d
i saw a post on reddit too, they were reporting its youtubes side. maybe YT is trying something to mess with the ads again, or against adblocker.
1984@lemmy.today · 8 pts · 312d
Oh shit, what about the advertisers and the influencers, will they be ok? /s

It doesn’t outright block ads but it shuts ‘em up and skips ASAP.

I gotta tell you I've got music streaming like 14 hours a day and I didn't notice an outage while using Waterfox and uBlock Origin.
