Also: how typical is the ad saturation in that YouTube video? Pretty much unwatchable (though I would just download it if I wanted to see more).


I find ads on YouTube very inconsistent. Some days/sessions I'll get loads throughout the first video then nothing for the next couple, other times it's one long one then several small ones.

Some creators are better at placing breaks but most seem to just let The Algorithm dump them whereever.

Not annoying enough yet to give up on the platform or (horror) pay, but still frustrating.

As for downloads, cheers for the reminder:I need to check if I'm running them most recent version of yt-dlp as it wasn't working for me at the weekend when I ("needed an offline version of a video in case of network issues" -Ed.)

I've used uBlock in Chrome for as long as I can remember so when I'm watching YouTube on my computer I don't see ads at all. To be honest I'm a bit surprised it still works.

I use uBlock too but I think Google are on to us. I've read reports of some people saying that it's been disabled on their version of Chrome and vanished from the web store.

A few of these restoration videos from 'Tisy Tube' have cropped up in my facebook feed recently and I have found them strangely compelling and satisfying. i admire the amount of effort put into restoring what I would have though was old junk, and find the process to be unexpectedly relaxing.

Indeed. I often fall asleep to similar. I think it was a roulette wheel last night

Very interesting, but they could have saved time by using a good breadknife.

What took you to that video though? Did you just stumble across it or were you actively looking for it?

She's nice and all but the 'Scorchio!' weather reader is better.

Channels like that fill me with dread.

Proper stalker behaviour, that kinda shit.
