If there is filters/moderation.
- SwellJoe 3mo agoThere are, but only for using IP of large corporations. If you put 12 seconds of a major label song in your video review of an album, that video belongs to the major label now.
- gowld 3mo agoIt's a lot easier to automatically detect a match to 1 specific thing than detect a match to a completely novel thing that offends sensibilities in a similar way to other things.
- UltraSane 3mo agoIt is really interesting how YouTube can detect short snippets of movies and songs but there are many full audiobooks illegally uploaded for years.
- joshspankit 3mo agoMovie and music studios are far more litigious
- ben_w 3mo agoThere are basically always filters of some kind, though not necessarily the ones we want. The bigger the target that filter represents, the more effort is spent breaking it.
- michaelt 3mo agoThe filter you want is named 'uBlock Origin' :)
- cute_boi 3mo agoWithout ublock origin internet is so dirty.
- phatfish 3mo agoIndeed, and the Revanced apk customisation on Android, and SmartTube on Google TV. I've not seen an ad from Youtube for probably 10+ years on my devices (since whenever Vanced made the apk customisations popular).
- happymellon 3mo agoI don't need Revanced as I already have uBlock Origin.
- inigyou 3mo agoFor YouTube on a desktop OS you also want Sponsorblock. On a mobile OS, you want Revanced/Morphe as it integrates Sponsorblock into the app.
- LargoLasskhyfv 3mo ago> For YouTube on a desktop OS you also want Sponsorblock. No. I don't. uBO suffices. Maybe with some additional rules and lists which aren't in its default setup. Maybe it also depends on the sort of content one watches, but I tried, and it did nothing for me, except one extension more running. Which I tend to try to minimize.
- inigyou 3mo agoDid it block sponsors?
- LargoLasskhyfv 3mo agoThat's the thing. I rarely watch, just listening to music doodling in a background tab. I think I remember some sponsored crap in 'der8auer' or something like 'linus tech tips' eons ago, but I don't watch them anymore. So I can't really tell, but for my use case it seems redundant. I also remember having imported uBo-lists from somewhere, allegedly enabling sponsor-blocking somehow. But that was another install. I don't have these anymore, ATM.
- ben_w 3mo agoHow is me installing that going to help prevent Facebook hosting unlawful adverts? I barely visit the FB feed these days, about half of those visits being a notification that turns out to be someone's birthday. Unlike FB themselves for the content they host, I find it easy to avoid them without needing the help of a filter, because on the rare occasion when I find myself being sucked into scrolling down the feed, this almost always stops within 3 items because that's how quickly I find the first utterly irrelevant item owing to how Facebook keeps trying to suggest (and advertise) nonsense. The filter I want to see in the world is the legislative kind, the "Meta delenda est" style. This is of course *not* what Facebook would want: spammers want to break FB's filters, and FB would try to get past legislative filters. I count FB as a spammer trying to put ads into every third message you try to exchange with your friends.
