youtube’s been testing various ways of limiting access, both for downloaders and real users with adblockers most fucked up experiment being forced DRM for ALL videos, even those that are licensed as CC: https://github.com/yt-dlp/yt-dlp/issues/12563 feels like it will only get worse from now on 🫠

If rolled out widely, this would make web browsers and third-party YouTube clients without a DRM license unusable for YouTube playback, download, etc. This would include almost all open-source web browsers and almost all third-party YouTube clients. Archive link to reddit post about this

    I’ve been thinking about using Nebula. Does anyone has any experience with it?

      Its got some great creators, Ive been on there a couple of years. Only downside which some might be glad to be rid of is a lack of comments, and feedback. Without any interaction you’re just watching videos; doesn’t feel like a community or conversation.

      Seems a shame because there are creators who appear to value the voice of the community on a platform where their audience has no voice.

      There’s a thread from five years ago where a founder Dave Wiskus said they had plans for a thread-like comments section. So it’s weird; must not align with whatever else it is they’re doing.

      I’d say the same thing about dropout TV. How can we get in the comments without a comments section!?
