Apparently my Fedi promo video is giving error messages on YouTube (shocker).

@_elena It was the yt app on Android. Usually I open videos in incognito on Chrome (Android usually, or on my computer), except from select accounts I'm familiar with. I just tested and it worked from Chrome too (incognito).
@_elena as for Adblock, well there is no extensions in incognito, I have a pi.hole that block most ads but not yt ones.

@dermoth wonderful, thanks for letting me know

Apparently my Fedi promo video is giving error messages on YouTube (shocker).
So I just logged on YouTube Studio for the first time in months to see what's going on... and found some interesting comments.
I'm not caffeinated enough to deliver zingers but I hope my response was adequate.
On the upside, I also saw a few comments of people who set up new accounts here, so yay.
As for the unplayable problem: no clue. But this is why I LOVE #PeerTube and on my website I'm using the PeerTube embed
@_elena i don’t even properly understand what hes trying to say, especially the last sentence?

@_elena actually one thing you should look for is the origin country, region locks are quite common on yt. It's Canada for me, but you may have checked my profile for it... I can try from the US when I connect to work (all traffic goes out a US proxy).
Edit: nope, I forgot to say where I'm from in my profile (I'll update it)

@_elena@mastodon.social the video did work for me with Pipepipe android client and Firefox with unlock origin. So this should not be a adblocking issues.

Apart from it being an utterly idiotic and ill-informed comment, what exactly was this person's problem?Excellent response from you!

@aerion I think I set quite a few people off with the section in the film about Big Tech oligarchs. They sadly have a lot of fans, le sigh

@lazyb0y
️ same here. I suppose he wanted to say that I and the Fediverse will be losers "if Big Tech buys us", with only Big Tech winning but he ended up writing the opposite. It's really hard to decipher -

@_elena What did the even mean by you being the "villain (cause) of all this"? Given that, I seriously doubt they're going to be able to comprehend your reply

@_elena still, we've to keep communicating what "federation" means for digital platforms. Users are so used to silos/big tech, that it's hard for many of them to imagine such thing as interoperability.
@davidlohner
The one thing that I just fail to get, is that federation needs to be explained to people, when it's a concept that pretty much everyone is familiar with.Have a (mobile) phone? You're federating. Have an email address? You're federating. Have an internet connection? That's federated.
People understand that you don't have to be on the same (mobile) phone network, with the same email provider, the same ISP, in order to communicate with others. Many daily services work, regardless of the provider you're with, where you can pick and choose and leave, without anything changing.
So why is it so insanely difficult to apply this concept to #XMPP messaging or anything on the #Fediverse?
It drives me crazy sometimes.

@aerion thank you for the SUPERB analogies

@kleisli I wish

@jsalvador indeed.
and please stop tempting me to make a new video about FEDERATED social media and what it means...
@_elena don't do it xD

That's something that eludes me too, this utter blindness, this inability to think for oneself…
Sometimes it feels like The Matrix is real, and I took the red pill…
And what's with the worshipping of billionaire assholes?? 🤯

@dermoth thank you! good to know it's playing for you: out of curiosity, which browser do you use and do you have adblock on?

@_elena #YouTube has become more and more problematic throwing error messages for all sorts of reasons. Most things i watch are there given the sheer amount and variety of content vs. Peertube.
I use #FreeTube and at times have to change #VPN connections in order to watch videos, at times some will only open in a browser.
It's definitely a hot mess. I wish #Peertube were a viable alternative for more than just #foss stuff but alas, it's not even close for most of what people watch/want.
