Comment

Ok so first, congrats on your archievement!!

I am involved with very similar things, writting scripts to yt-dlp the last good content creators to my jellyfin server and using a custom invidious setup. (Aided by claude).

I also sympathise with your vote remove scripts, I am altering websites to my own preference similarly.

I was going to talk about how invidious is still not true freedom from YouTube, just its crap website.

But then you never mentioned invidious in your actual comment? How does your daily setup actually look. What do you do with content that Is still exclusively YouTube?

And a big point of critique, that bold end quote, its a hyper common AI structure statement of “it’s not this, - it’s that” ai does it all the bloody time, it’s cringe and makes me feel sick. Ai is horrible at this kind of rallying message.

Finally. Someone asking an actual question. And I mentioned Invidious in the title.

I also sympathise with your vote remove scripts, I am altering websites to my own preference similarly.

I just find the upvote/downvote system on websites stupid. Glad we see eye to eye there.

I was going to talk about how invidious is still not true freedom from YouTube, just its crap website.

Actually, it gave me a lot more control. How it looks isn’t important to me. I cared about function. And it made it easier to have scripts made to filter the very aspect that makes YouTube addictive.

What do you do with content that Is still exclusively YouTube?

To answer that, there is nothing worthwhile for me to bother watching. There is nothing exclusive to YouTube, that I want to bother with. I downloaded over 100 James Julier Videos for safe keeping. And that’s all I really needed from YouTube.

Yeah. I was lazy with that last part. Though, I did write the rest myself. But I accept AI is ruining the web anyways; along with the bots. It’s why I turned to RSS with Odysee, Peertube and Bit-chute. I hardly even web browse as it is.

  Can you give me some channel recommendations cause my main struggle is that I don’t branch out.
  
  The few channels I do follow I have for followed for years. Veritasium, Steve Mold, Kurtzegesagt.
  
  Some of those might have partreon/flowplane but that’s to rich for my blood.
  
  Especially good tech/science oriented channels i’d love to know whats out there but I don’t want to follow algorithm recommendations.

    My advice is do your own searching. Try Odysee. Quite a few content creators went there. And to avoid any algorithmic recommendations, consider RSS to keep up with their content.
    
    And if you can’t find them on alternative platforms, download the videos you find useful and ditch all the rest.
    
    That’s what I did when it came to James Julier Art Tutorial videos. Made myself a personal archive and backed them up.
