They work, they just aren’t displayed to anyone and can’t be accessed by anyone.

No it doesn’t

can,

You can dislike a video without an extension. You just can’t see a number.

Nobody ITT is saying that the dislike button doesn’t work though

SkidFace, in "Return Youtube Dislike" Doesn't work anymore....

YouTube made some minor UI changes, which caused the current version of Return YouTube Dislike in the Mozilla Addons Store to not work. A fix has been submitted for review to Firefox and other browser stores, but that takes time and Mozilla has get to accept the new version. Adding the current version manually from their GitHub page does work just fine, if you don’t feel like waiting.

Known issue, they are working on it.

refurbishedrefurbisher, in Will human societies always enshittify themselves?

I’d like to think there’s a way to keep shitty people out of power and concentration of resources to a minimum, but unfortunately, that conflicts with human nature.

The people who have power are generally the type of people who want power over other people. We haven’t solved the problem of preventing sociopaths and psychopaths from becoming powerful yet, and it’s hard to believe that society will ever solve that problem, since sociopaths and psychopaths will always exist. People who care about others generally aren’t the type of people who seek power.

Even if, for example, we have a proletariat state, people who seek power will find a way to gain power. For example, if it’s a direct democracy without representatives, propaganda will be a very useful tool. If it’s a communist government with centralized planning, there will be a way to control the centralized planning. We already know how representative democracies can fall since we’re living it. With social democracies, capitalism still exists, so that’s pretty easy to exploit and revert back to straight capitalism.

monobot,

Yes, and it even works the other way around - we are choosing our leaders and we are choosing craziest ones. That is how group dynamic is working like, according to Bion:

And perhaps one of the most important findings in his experiments was that whenever a group is formed, it always seeks a leader to follow. The group then searches for someone who has questionable attributes with his or her mental health. Initially, the group will search for someone who is paranoid schizophrenic or someone who is malignant hysteric. If the group is unable to find someone with those attributes, the group looks for someone with delinquent trends and a psychopathic personality. Otherwise, the group would just settle on the verbally facile high-grade defective.

You might find his “Experiences in groups” quite interesting.

Interesting. I came to reply to a comment in a thread that had some that went poof! And .ml moderation is problematic?

wahming,

More likely you’re having technical issues, the thread is active as heck

There is nothing new under the sun...we are the same monkeys that we have always been. Technology / circumstances have changed though, somewhat. Nature + Nurture, with the former unchanged and the latter altered might produce something different? But people thought that the internet would solve all the world's problems, and if you replace "internet" with anything else at all, repeat as nauseum, you get life... so no, it both "changed everything", while also changing nothing.

Strong societies beget weak children, who produce vulnerable societies, which after (as?) they fall apart beget strong children. That is what I see anyway, right or wrong. That is why it is important to ask questions as you are doing. Entropic decay can only be overcome with effort. You can't solve the world's problems, only your own - and those who are willing to listen. As an example, we cannot fix Reddit, only make a new place to be better, but that takes WORK.

Why the fuck are there people still using YouTube? They rip off content creators and treat their user base like shit- and yet, everyone still flocks to use their services.

In a more intelligent world- YouTube wouldn’t even exist anymore.

angstylittlecatboy,

Because it’s entrenched, and any other platform that can provide the reasons YouTube got popular (PeerTube cannot) would run into the same issues eventually. Most of the best YouTube content nowadays is by people who rely on it as at least a secondary income, so it provides no real benefit for creators to post content elsewhere.

Rhoeri,
@Rhoeri@lemmy.world avatar

People could just…. not go to YouTube. There’s little there that’s necessary to watch. What’s wrong here is that people put their indulgences ahead of their hypocrisy.

glimpseintotheshit,

YouTube is a monopoly and there are so many talented content creators on there, even for niche interests. What are you talking about? And what the fuck does “necessary to watch” mean? I want to watch what’s fun and interests me and that’s all on YouTube.

Rhoeri,
@Rhoeri@lemmy.world avatar

And if you’re one of the millions of people that constantly bitch about YouTube’s standards and practices, you’re a hypocrite along with the rest of them. If not, then I’m not talking about you.

I wish videos were hosted on different websites like the old days. Your friends would suggest a website to you to see a funny video like dumb.com and homestar runner. YouTube came along and now they have a monopoly on 99% of full length videos. Make your voice heard and stop using YouTube- host your own videos and keep the spirit of the old web alive

stolid_agnostic,

Ironically, YouTube fixed the problem of having to search for videos all around the internet.

wahming,

Host your own videos where? The average user isn’t likely to start hosting their own file server

Number1SummerJam,
@Number1SummerJam@lemmy.world avatar

There’s lots of free resources on the internet for learning how to do that. I just wish people would realize that the more you learn about technology, the more you can manipulate the world around you for the better, especially in this decade.

Since you sound like you’re familiar with the topic, what web-based software do you recommend for hosting videos on a VPS?

Number1SummerJam,
@Number1SummerJam@lemmy.world avatar

I’m definitely more of a hardware guy, but at least I’m old enough to remember the internet before corporations took it over

wahming,

Wait, so… you’re advocating for the average user to self-host, but it turns out you don’t even do it yourself?

Number1SummerJam,
@Number1SummerJam@lemmy.world avatar

No? I’m not a networking guy, I mainly deal with hardware. I do remember when the internet was decentralized and all the innovative content was independent of things like social media. Just because I don’t know how to set up my own video server off the top of my head doesn’t mean I don’t support it.

wahming,

The point being, if you’re an IT guy who supports the idea and yet can’t find the motivation to do it, do you honestly think there’s a snowball’s chance in hell of anybody else doing it?

Number1SummerJam,
@Number1SummerJam@lemmy.world avatar

Out of desperation, yes

wahming,

You’re not wrong, but realistically, there’s no chance of it happening.

mesamunefire,

You can still upload on archive.org

glimse,

I’ve been thinking about getting a Nebula subscription for awhile now. Most of the channels I subscribe to are on there so I’d feel good paying to support them. And Practical Engineering’s new (now finished) series was so good, I want to see more stuff like that instead of hoping the YouTube algorithm suggests something worth watching

    I downloaded most of my favorite videos so I can watch them offline and ditched it ever since. I’ll watch if I need to find specific how-to info but other than that I managed to cut it out of my life.

    PeterPoopshit,

    A home server is less expensive than YouTube Red. Download all their videos and periodically purchase new hard drives instead of giving YouTube a cent. Monthly fees are eating people alive. We have to be fighting back.

    Unfortunately I’m not networking saavy, but at the very least my Roku TV can play most video files from a USB. I have most of my favorite shows like On Cinema At The Cinema and King of the Hill downloaded and organized by season. Got any tips for labeling show folders that have a season 10? It assumes it’s next to season 1.
