      @cmconseils DLNA it by sharing a video from YouTube on one device to the DLNA device locally and bypass the adverts.

        That is kind of how it works. Running a platform like that does however cost money therefore I don't mind too much paying a little.

        Now, the cool thing about the internet is that if you want to publish things that works (or worked) perfectly fine without these so called platforms.

        That are more or less a for of digital leeches sucking money out of the economy.

        So no I don't see the value here beside that they've captured nowadays most content, so one is forced to deal with them.

          @cmconseils kinda like an outbidding contest of money for attention.

          It's actually an attention/eyeball economy. It's literally called that in certain contexts.

                  Deutsche Telekom charges consumers for broadband access and then also charges content providers for bandwidth to their customers. If you're the platform, nobody can afford not to do business there.

                    @renardboy @Legit_Spaghetti @cmconseils add sponsorblock as well. It uses community notes to auto skip the YouTuber ad reads and promos.

                    Link Preview Image
                    Home

                    SponsorBlock is a crowdsourced browser extension to skip sponsor segments in YouTube videos.

                    favicon

                    (sponsor.ajay.app)

                    Its amazing how well it works. Right after any big youtuber releases a video, it skips over them. Even smaller youtubers will ad skip within a few minutes of release, and if not, the plugin let's you easy annotate the start - stop to help others.

                                @cmconseils at least it's a step up from newspapers, where you have to pay just for the privilege of seeing the ads! (and occasionally some unsponsored content)

                                  @cmconseils I don't mind. I just hate when I pay and still see ads. It is a company after all with bills and to make profit. It wouldn't exist without profit. I run a Mastodon and peertube instance and if it wasn't for me putting in my own money it wouldn't exist as donations don't always cover the cost.

                                        @cmconseils That’s a pretty common business model these days. As users, we’re partly responsible for it too. The only real way out would be to switch platforms or build new ones, but let’s be honest: that’s not going to happen anytime soon since people don’t change habits easily. In the meantime, we can just use the options mentioned here to avoid ads. A few more I've mentioned earlier https://social.linux.pizza/@wwwgem/116389523834889713

                                          @cmconseils Not if you use Brave Browser.

                                          It blocks them without any add-ons.
