Yep I've been watching more nebula lately just out of principle frankly ... I've also been subscribed for a while.

As I see it, it's the model the really needs to come to the foreground (even here on the fedi in some ways).

Even beyond that, once a technology and platform has been "innovated" and established by big tech or whatever, there should be an immediate push to democratise it as a public good and take it out of big-corp monopolistic hands as all they'll do is sit on their gold mine extracting as much as they can for as long as they can.

What are some cool people on nebula? I know a good chunk of urban planning content creaters are on there, which is greatly appealing to me.

I have been thinking about moving there, just wish they can store my watch history local only and ideally open-source their app, just like newpipe.

I find it strange Nebula is both the cheapest streaming sub I have as well as the one I get the most use out of. I will say I'm slowly getting tired of it though, it's getting to the point it needs a block creator button. Getting rid of clickbait was a selling point but it's starting to creep in hard, there are stupid red arrows pointing at random things and obviously poor titles all over the recent videos page. It wasn't like this a year ago.

Given how much YouTube tries to push right wing propaganda down everyone's feed, I'm not inclined to give them the benefit of the doubt.

Yeah YouTube uses a database with eventual consistency. It isn't immediately going to reflect changes.

I don't have evidence. That's why I added the rumor in the title and mentioned it on the end of the post. It just never happend before in the youtube app like this. Could be pure coincidence. The only thing that concerns me is the language they use. It's very suggestive they've done this on purpose. At least it sounds this way in German.

I use Youtube-shorts block -add-on. It rewrites the url for shorts and shows them as normal videos (because they are). IDK why they had to make a new purposefully shitty player for them.

I have the exact opposite problem, YouTube keeps me recommending old videos that I've already watched - sometimes because the tracking is broken and it doesn't save the watch time, and sometimes because it was too long ago and it fell out of the watched "playlist".

The "sort by old" option has returned. Not sure when, but I started noticing it came back about a week ago.

This happend on the app. Seems a bit odd, that I have to completely restart it when blocking a video. Whats next, logging in and out after every comment?

I've had to use it a lot

Often times on the same channels
