I went to Down Detector last night about this. Holy shit, that comment section was something else. It’s clear where all the teenagers go when YouTube is down. It’s also clear that DD doesn’t have the moderation to handle massive influxes of them.
Would this kind of thing be possible with peertube? It has “peer” in the name, but is it really resistant to take downs or unforeseen outages? If peertube instance A is hosting a video and I’m on peertube instance B, trying to watch that video, if instance A goes down, will that video be unaccessible?
I dont know how the federation works for peertube, but i guess that the most logical outcome of one specific instance going down is all videos on that instance being unavailable, while the rest of servers working fine.
That would be unfortunate. When lemmy.world goes down, I think all their content is still available on every instance that federated with it.
Quick, vibe code it back to stability!
YouTube has said they’re aware of several issues impacting functionality and are working on a fix. Not just you.
The main issue that I’m having is the ads. When will they remove them from non partnership videos?
Did people forgot about adBlockers
I was gonna say, “what ads?” I haven’t seen a YouTube ad in years now. If they ever force their way through, I’ll just stop watching YouTube videos. I’m not tied to the platform; there are other ad-free places to watch videos from.
