Youtube isn’t an open source website, right? While Chromium is an open source browser. Google doesn’t really make money directly off browsers anyway more so over their services, they can afford to do open source projects like Android and Chrome os.

Exactly.

See the problem with despite googles intention of protecting their own ads is that now users in theory can’t block all of Googles competing ad networks due to the limited filter rules.

If one server goes down youl have to switch to another but peertube will continue to work. That’s the advantage.

Or use both platforms with Peertube as your main.

Tends to vary server to server, Mastodon has similar issues regarding that.

A good work around is to use Sepia Go which tries to search all instances for content. But of course their could be a few that go by their radar.

On peertube depending on the license the uploader chose you are able to just freely download the video to your device directly from the instance no addons/extentions required on desktop. This option won’t always be available, but is on most uploads. Just be sure that it is actually their content or covered by fair use or you might still face copyright issues.

If its their content he should just be able to reupload the clips.

Yes.

Interesting. Did any change since then? Regarding it going away.

Also unrelated, your user name reminds of a Youtuber I use to watch.

There are few legal differences.

1. in cache its harder for the average nontech person to access a cached video outside the website. Additionay in cache it’s considered a temporary store to help aid the service than a permament one.

2. When you download a video on Youtube it is probally against their terms of use while doing the same on Peertube seem widely permited by the playform based on the license the user uses. There are fewer Peertube videos that dont allow downloads then do.

With that said, a concerning amount of them have unknown selected as their license. So its hard to tell most of the time when its ok with the creator to download and if their ok/cool with it.

It might seem too late, but this will be helpful for people stuck in ridiculous contracts to cancel and go internet exclusive. If you’re younger, in your 20s or even 30s, you would probably likely be rid of cable by now.

if you’re much older then that those are the people I think would really benefit from this, the older generations.

YouTube or Peertube? Now on Youtube, things are meant to be more corporate, while on Peertube, it is its own platform, and it is open source.

Makes sense. But when you add in the license that Peertube has available for creators to use for their videos, then the rules become more global I would assume. Might be wrong there.

The original uploader in particular would be the person sueing, i’m not really worried about the instance itself, since Peertube over all is opensource. They would probably sue the person downloading the work, although unlikely it could happen atleast legally.

One thing to add that I just found and looked into is that Peertube does seem to have a way to sort by license, atleast on sepia search, which is like a global search for most Peertube instance, though probally not every video gets featured on all instances ever made. So that seems to suggest even more that is is case by case basis whether it is legal to just go and download the videos freely.

My other concern is that not every video upload has a license submitted, those videos uploaded to a Peertube instance, that say that the license is ‘unknown’ it’s due to the uploader not deciding and that just complicates things further for whether it’s okay or not okay to download the video.

If we are going for this fediverse and opensource thing especially with video, legal use like this need to be looked into, simplified and more talked about so people can rest assured they are in the right legally. Even if the uploader might not be as likely do anything, it’s still an unknown license and that could leave people vulnerable especally in more creative cases especially when they reupload with little fair use to there aid.

That would apply if its scheduled like on tv but that wouldnt work if for standard video uploads would it?

I was thinking since most on peertube don’t tend to seek revenue from ads, so should it be acceptable? Peertube itself is opensource.

In summary i’m really asking for whether if it should be acceptable or not. Maybe it varies from uploader to uploader, but even then channels dont tend to state their own stance on this.

I get that. I’m just spreading what google’s official response was.

I’d love to see a plan where you just pay to rid of the ads, but YouTube is past YouTube, they would rather everyone pay YouTube premium as is.

Just to put this out there for those who probally didn’t read the article. YouTube does this 5 second delay thing, on purpose only if it detects a user using an adblocker if you don’t use the adblocker then Youtube will work as it normally would on that browser.

Whether it’s still a clunky experienceor the browser crashes really Is dependant on that browser and if it’s a good alternative browser.

In other words, ‘fix he delay by disabling the adblocker’, coming from Youtube themselves.
