Playback speed is now a YouTube premium™ feature
I dont believe you
Only 4x appears to be a premium feature for me
I wish they just bit the bullet and made the entire site paywalled so you either pay a fee and have a good experience or you dont.
>>107491671That would have some good effects but I hope that doesn't happen, only because of the sheer amount of old content that won't be reuploaded elsewhere.
get fucked parasite
Good. It's called the zoomer tax.
>>107491742Does it hurt knowing that by using freetube with a VPN I'm basically a parasite in your waifu's womb eating half her eggs and inseminating the other half forcing you to raise my children?
>>107491626>is now
>>107491742>giving youtube money>supporting "creators", who would be permanently unemployed or on the streets begging for loose change if youtube didn't existlmao
>>107491775Youtube uses A/B testing extensively, the experience people have with it varies a lot.
>>107491824>gibsmedat>forfree
>i use youshit for any "reason" whatsoever
>>107491660i discovered that if you are blocking ads, it won't even allow you to change the speed at all. if you refresh a few times it reappears. but yeah, nobody is subscribing to youtube just to have speed control when yt-dlp exists>>107491887i don't support losers on the internet that suck on the cocks of corporations because they're such massive losers they can't get real jobs. will there be a livestream suicide? post a link to your youtube channel so i can add it to my firewall
>>107491626dont care
>I just don't have time to watch 253 videos at 1x speed per day>spends 10 hours each and every day on TikTok and Insta
>>107491850>Youtube uses A/B testinghttps://i.4cdn.org/g/1765292328789475s.jpg
So far it's just the 3x speed, but you know they're gonna make all of the premium eventually. It's fucking over. I use this to learn music and watch boring talks a bit faster.I'm gonna have to download this shit and speed it up on my computer
>>107491899>if you're blocking ads you cant change speed at allthat isn't true for me. also, i think there are scripts or extensions that will allow whatever speed you want.
>>107491742My data isn't free, get back to work lol
>>107492078Someone will make an extension that automatically opens the video on your external player when you click on it, I'm sure.
>>107492108>that isn't true for me.probably a/b testing. here's what it looks like at my end:
>>107491887>>107491742>give me money for reading wikipedia pageshahaha get a job, faggot.
>>107492192Is that custom slider also disabled?
just stop consuming goyslop and you won't ever have to deal with youtube bullshit again, is it really that hard?
>>107491626Pause is now a YouTube premium™ feature. >1/30 ads remaining
>>107492221yes. it doesn't move at all. 1x only. here is what it looks like if i then refresh the page. it magically reappears:
>it's over waaaaaaahyt-dlp
It would probably be good for YouTube and its viewers in the long run if the player didn't support changing the playback speed. People would be less willing to watch extremely low information density slop "deep divcs" and such. Unfortunately everything up to 2x is still free.
>>107491899Works on my machine. I watch podcast, news like stuff on 1.5 all the time.
>>107491626document.querySelector('video').playbackRate = 4
document.querySelector('video').playbackRate = 4
Not my problem. I will continue to use 5x speed to fast forward in Revanced
>>107492306>. People would be less willing to watch extremely low information density slop "deep divcs" and suchwhen you have youtubers that are so fucking desperate to make shekels on that site, while google plays tricks to minimize payouts for everyone except their golden sheep, they will go out of their way to make a video as tediously long as possible. i've seen many of those "deep dive" cringe videos..want to preserve most of that hour of your time?>see faggot with youtube video featuring [subject]>open up wikipedia for [subject]>read the page in 10-15 mintues, depending on lengthdone. because that's exactly what these fucks do. reading wikipedia verbatim. they'll add in a few things to make it not look like a wikipedia reading but you'll see it's nearly identical
>>107492327works on my machine too.. if i refresh the page and it comes back, which is weird.
>>107491626Just pay and support creators.
>>107492298You'll be crying too when youtube embraces DRM.
>>107491626Firefox lets you speed up / slow down any video playback on demand.Also:>youtube.com##.ytp-quality-menu .ytp-menuitem:has(.ytp-premium-label)>youtube.com##.ytp-menuitem:has(.ytp-menuitem-container-with-badge)Not my problem.
>>107491626don't worry because in 10-15 years you will watch videos in 480p at 12 fps, everything else will cost 40 eurodollars per month
>>107492431
>>107492501This is edited right? Please tell me it is
>>107492501grim fucking world we live in.
>>107492531Nope unfortunately
>>107492465people will just create yet another video sharing site and continue on as normal
>>107492654Youtube has a major network advantage and the servers to serve the video content. You can't just "start a video sharing site" that serves over a billion users.
>>107492744it's no longer 1995 and there's many hosting services and CDNs that can cope - if you have the money. look at streaming sites like kick that seemingly arrived overnight being paid for by a gambling business. they're doing ok. youtube started off small and was immensly popular before google ever bought it. they didn't have any problem. a new site isn't expected to just magically support a billion indians posting bollywood slop every 2 minutes. fuck i would block entire countries if i ran such a site. it took years for google to get to that position anyway. as money flows into [new alt site] they too can expand to support massive numbers
>>107492894>there's many hosting services and CDNs that can cope No shit but they need to make a profit. Google has been subsidizing Youtube for so long which is why it's been able to be relatively free for so long. Smaller companies do not have that luxury.>kickYoutube probably deals with more traffic in one hour than Kick deals with in a year. It's the norm for people to pay multiple subscriptions and donations to websites like Twitch and Kick whereas most people on Youtube are freeriders.>youtube started off small and was immensly popular before google ever bought it.Like most other startups Youtube ran at a loss with the goal of early rapid growth and eventually selling to a bigger company. The way they ran that business was not sustainable in the long run.Is it impossible that youtube gets replaced? No of course not, but it's extremely unlikely unless Youtube fucks up in a way that is beyond comprehension.
>>107493015>Google has been subsidizing Youtubetheir bullshit accounting seperates google from youtube. youtube is immensly profitable and google isn't "subsidizing it". it pays for itself. this "subsidize" nonsense is a often repeated lie that has no basis in realityalso they don't need to "fuck up" or whatever else. nobody expecting mass mirgration at once either
>>107491626"tech" company btw lolall tech companies are trash that solely rely on advertising and subscription fees to make any profits
>>107492894>like kickThey rent their infrastructure via Amazon's IVS.
>>107493107good. and.. the site still exists? has users? yes?
>>107491626>laughs in mpvI set up aggressive caching in mpv.conf so I can even stream videos at 30x speed. it's pretty useful if I remember something happened but can't find when and the thumbnail hover isn't accurate enough
>>107493053>youtube is immensly profitable and google isn't "subsidizing it".I should have said "subsidized" past tense. Why would Youtube be profitable today? Because Youtube has been pushing ads and premium, the very thing that you're claiming will push people off the platform (It still hasn't by the way). Any Youtube competitor will need to run at a massive loss in order to even make a dent into Youtube's market share. As soon as they start monetizing effectively (Subscriptions & Ads) and actually operate as a sustainable business they would destroy their only competitive advantage.You seem to be under the impression that a video hosting website can just run indefinitely without heavy monetization or subsidization.
>>107493160>Why would Youtube be profitable today?>"YouTube generated $36.1 billion revenue in 2024"i'm sorry, are you stupid? do you think it costs google $36 billion to host things and they're running at a loss? >You seem to be under the impression that a video hosting website can just run indefinitely without heavy monetization or subsidization.never said that at all. that's some schizo babble you've added in for the fuck of it because you have no fucking idea what you are talking about. just pissing into wind, except you're now drenched in piss.
>>107492431Maybe it's better that we don't and instead just kick the habit of watching content.I think I'll be okay with it when creators and viewers decide to withdraw.
>>107492501holy shit i feel like i got radiation poisoning just from watching it, no wonder normies stick to ig/tiktok and whatever they have to use for work for their "internet"
>>107493195>i'm sorry, are you stupid? do you think it costs google $36 billion to host things and they're running at a loss?Read my post again and then write out a response that doesn't make you look like an illiterate retard. "Why would Youtube be profitable today?" was a rhetorical question that I answered in the very next sentence.>do you think it costs google $36 billion to host things and they're running at a loss? No I don't think that but it's not an unreasonable position.>never said that at allYou never explicitly stated it. If you didn't believe it then there would be literally no reason for you to have disagreed with me at all. That was my entire point.
isn't this exploitative of actual retards?who would watch at 4x?there are lots of studies on test outcomes and comprehension for speed up lecture videos and 2x is like the ceiling with 1.75x and lower being the sweetspotalso scaletempo on chrome is utter dogshit which is what retards use anyway
>>107492446he'll use decryption keys
>>107493333it's youtube, not a university lecture.
>>107493380I don't understand your point, they've used casual videos as well in those tests.What would be the point of speeding up the video that fast? You get nothing out of it, it's like retards banging their head on the walls.>you don't need to not suck cocks because there's an apple logo on your phonethis is what you sound like
>>107493153that's a quick way to get your ip banned
>>107491626Faster playback speed is for degenerates
>>107493195>i'm sorry, are you stupid? do you think it costs google $36 billion to host things and they're running at a loss?yes anon most people who repeat that claim are that stupid and essentially say that with proudness
>>107493421I have another epic idea for google, sell darkmode with premium as well, haha.
>>107493403i don't want to retain anything i learn from a mr beast-tier video. if i can be entertained at 4x that's most efficient. also, your pointless apple hate added nothing to the reply.
>>107493445>i don't want to retain anything i learn from a mr beast-tier video. if i can be entertained at 4x that's most efficient.
>>107491899>i discovered that if you are blocking ads, it won't even allow you to change the speed at all. if you refresh a few times it reappears. but yeah, nobody is subscribing to youtube just to have speed control when yt-dlp existsworks on firefox, stop using stupid shit.
>>107491626there's nothing on youtube you benefit from consuming more quickly
>>107493418*restarts router*
>>107491893/qa/ lost
>>107493825>banned instantly because your range is flagged nownow what?
>>107493354yt-dlp will be dead then because they explicitly will not violate US law. The only reason it works right now is because it's completely legal to download unencrypted video for your own personal use. They've already stated they have no interest in cracking any DRM and tell anyone that brings it up to fuck off.
>>107492352Or just shift right click on the video to bypass their custom context menu and show the browsers default context menu that has playback speed controls still.
>>107494019people will just download from the browser then again if they need to decrypt the file they can use a L2 key or w/e they buy for 4$ from Indians that's good for a lifetime unless it's shared to retards.
>>107492431You need to offer a compelling service first. Just charging people for background playback on Android and custom playback speeds on desktop ain't it.How is Apple able to build a compelling streaming service with premium shows that people want to watch but YouTube can't emulate that? You need something compelling that makes people feel it's worthwhile to subscribe.
>>107491626It costs $0 and technically that's for 2 months because of the speed increase
>>107493971>entire city complains>state threatens a lawsuit>Google relents as it's not worth the legal fees.
>>107494166>never happened/happening>google just tells them to make an account and pay a subscription and all the limitations are lifted
>>107493418*restarts vpn*
>>107491671It's Google. You'd pay a fee and everything is as shitty as it always was.
>>107494044Youtube Premium was 125 million subscribers. AppleTV has 45 million. This is genuinely the average quality of a typical /g/ post.
>>107491626did they remove the ads for premium already?or is the cattle incapable of pushback?
>>107491626>ITT: zoomers explaining why their fried attention span is not capable of enjoying a video in the intended speedI'd pity you but I'm too busy not giving a shit about people who didn't listen to the warnings. What you deserve is what you get.
>>107494951mm let me rephrase that.are they still showing ads while paying for premium?
>>1074949674x has nothing to do with attention, it entirely bypasses your comprehension
>>107494931how much content does yt have vs apple tv? what's the price difference?>>107494968huh?
>>107492431>ad blocking same as piracyso its fine then as it hurts no one?
YouTube is slop.and there's slop all over internet.I won't shed any tears when it shuts down or I stop using it if AdBlock doesn't work.I already just close the tab on my phone instead of piping the link into Vanced because its not worth the effort.I'll just stop using youtube.
