- ASalazarMX 8y agoIt's like old Youtube then.
- fl0wenol 8y agoEverything on there looks like a scam or those 5-minute lifehack compilations where you lose a finger if you tried them yourself.

- hello123456789 8y agoWHAT ARE WE GONNA DO!
- cliffdover 8y agoOnly getting like 1 peer per video and <150kb download.
- mitchtbaum 8y agoThat de-Google-ify video I linked has 26 peers currently.
- purvis 8y agoI had the same problem, but it was because one of my privacy extensions had disabled WebRTC.

- zaxomi 8y agoWhen YouTube comes back up again, I can recommend Tom Scott with "Single Point of Failure: The (Fictional) Day Google Forgot To Check Passwords" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y4GB_NDU43Q https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y4GB_NDU43Q
- DonaldFisk 8y agoIt's back up.
- mito88 8y agoit's black! :)
- ateesdalejr 8y agoYes! This video was what caused me to reconsider my use of Google services seriously.
- scrollaway 8y agoI was wondering how to react if this happened to me while watching the video. If, like me, you use Google with your email on your own domain (eg. gsuite), you could, in an emergency, change your MX records to something non-google.
- corobo 8y agoWorth noting that "In an emergency" also relies on your MX records' TTL being set to a low value
- breakingcups 8y agoAnd the DNS not being managed by Google and the domain not being bought through Google.
- acobster 8y agoWow, thanks for the recommendation. Harrowing.
- jancsika 8y ago4 peers with about 320KB download
- jancsika 8y agoDownload finished, but I only uploaded 6MB total. Too bad because I've got a symmetric up and down.
- jancsika 8y agoOh wow-- just went to the "Trending" page and it's got a bunch of thumbnails of stuff like Stallman speech videos next to thumbnails of pornography. The Stallman/Porn ratio is about 2:9. (Well, to be fair there's also Peertube related videos.) So in keeping with the history of the internet, porn seems to be the main driver here. But then their UI solution to keep newcomers from being offended is to blur out the porn thumbnails. So either: a) the newcomer-- like me-- isn't after porn, and the majority of the screen real estate is wasted, or b) the newcomer or return visitor is there for porn, the thumbnails they want to view are blurred out, and Stallman's face is eating up valuable porn thumbnail real estate. Modest UX suggestion: follow the history of nearly the entire internet and separate out your porn from your everything else.
