Youtube is frying your CPU... - Politics Discussion

[–] Galilguy (2472) 10 months ago

I noticed that YouTube is laggy now but I'm not turning Adblock off, no way. I'd rather it perform a little slow than sit through unskippable ads every minute..

reply

[–] Kowalski (75528) 10 months ago

YOU MAYBE HAVE TO SIT THROUGH 5 MINUTES OF ADS PER HALF HOUR OF CONTENT...AT MOST...MOST OF WHICH ARE SKIPPABLE.

reply

[–] B1cKsurN (17407) 10 months ago

Seems I have found a trick on my laptop that if you pause adblock....it will get around CPU cycles and still skips the ad!

Check out tubi - less ads and less agenda.

Tubi has been shittified in the past 2-3 years, no comparison to how good it was years ago

reply

[–] parkerbot (9007) 10 months ago

I just started with it and so far no, complaints.

Was able to watch Sapphire and Steel, Invisible Man and Thriller with minimal ads.

tubi is trash nirvana.
i've used it for years & i see little difference now from when i started.
it is loaded with nonsense that i love. no budget horror. mopey indies.
i pay for 6 services & i use tubi more than all of them combined.

[–] Bloodworth79 (5687) 9 months ago

Tubi is awesome

reply

[–] legnadibrom (6215) 9 months ago

i used to time the duration of commercials during movies,
sometimes it would be 3 minutes total, sometimes 5 or 6 minutes - which isn't bad at all...
but then it got upwards to 8 or 9,
then it started going over 10 minutes per movie and i ejected

reply

[–] [deleted] 9 months ago

i agree that the ads have increased. i'm not sure if it's 10 minutes. that seems high. i've never timed it, but the ad inserts usually are no more than a minute for me, and there are usually no more than 4 or 5 in a 90m feature.

perhaps it's a little different in canada (where i am).

even if it is 10m, considering the content you get for free, i don't consider that a heavy lift. weekly, sometimes more often, i find something i'd never heard of that i like/love/or is so incompetent & stupid that it's awesome.

edit: because i'm vaguely ocd-ish, i'm going to time the ads on the tubi movies i watch today, lol.

reply

[–] [deleted] 9 months ago

i just watched a 98m movie on tubi with my stopwatch on my phone at the ready.

there were 4 breaks, each one about 20m apart. three of them were 60 seconds, one was 30 seconds.

so 3.5 minutes of ads in a free full length movie.

& that feels pretty standard. i'm watching another movie that's about 100m right now. i'm tracking that one too cuz i'm annoying like that. & i'm watching it with my vpn set to the u.s. to see if there's any difference.

edit: just finished. the movie had fewer breaks with my vpn set to the us.

three breaks, & two of them were only 15s each. the other was a full minute.

so 90 seconds of ads in a 100m movie. crazy.

reply

[–] legnadibrom (6215) 9 months ago

Maybe I'll give a movie a go this week and see how the ads are for me

reply

[–] legnadibrom (6215) 9 months ago

Btw, what were the movies?

reply

[–] [deleted] 9 months ago

movie #1 was the rambler (which looks like it's only available in canada) & #2 was black christmas 1974.

if you do give it a try let me know what happens.

reply

[–] legnadibrom (6215) 9 months ago

i gave it a go, 3:45min of commercials in 4 ad breaks - 91min movie,
so not bad at all,
glad i gave tubi another go after giving up on it

reply

[–] [deleted] 9 months ago

glad to hear it.

if we want to discuss lousy streamers, plextv is really bad in my experience. they insert tons of ads & they are long breaks.

i watched a 20m short a few months back & they had two breaks that ran about 3m each.

that service stinks & unless it has something i really want to see that isn't anywhere else, i do my best to avoid it.

YOU'RE THE ONE USING AN AD REVENUE BASED PLATFORM LIKE YOU OWN IT.

Without users, there's no revenue.

Umm, I seem to remember Youtube existing and being just as cool before that happened. Actually it was better.

YEAH...EVERYTHING USED TO BE BETTER...THAT ISN'T THE POINT...OR THE CURRENT REALITY THOUGH.

reply

[–] B1cKsurN (17407) 10 months ago

Current reality is that my AdBlock works by pausing it and stops the YouTube cycles. Works for me!

Maybe if they weren't fascistic towards their content creators... I wouldn't have cancelled my Premium account.

Oh well.

The $170 I'll save a year not giving Youtube my hard earned money will buy me a lot of tissues.

Is this post for real...? Are you that deranged by me, that this is the 5 year old bullshit you resort to, just to get your last words in?

[–] AbolishWokeness (32) 9 months ago

What youtube needs to do is offer an ad free experience for a nominal fee. Their current premium is $14/mo for features I won't use. I'm not paying that just so I don't see ads. However, I would pay $3/mo for it. I'm betting others would too. Not sure if that makes sense for their financials, though. We'd have to know the details to figure out the lowest price point they could go to earn the same as they make from ad revenue.

[–] Kowalski (75528) 9 months ago

YEAH...I WOULD VOTE FOR THAT AS WELL.👍🏾

it always make me laugh when i see the words "content" or "content creator" the most pretentious shit ever!

turns out you can go to the hood stare at black people then shout "it's a prank bro!" or make videos where you eat 17 big mac meals and you're a "creator"

how embarrassing our society has become.

[–] AmeriGirl26 (14382) 10 months ago

Look, I hate commercials and ads all over every website I visit. YouTube is very high on that list, and frankly, my life on the web improved soooo much when I got ad-blockers. The websites look clean and quiet now, including this one. I don't care one bit if they need the money. It's not my problem.

The only reason I put up with the commercials when watching YouTube on my Roku is because I haven't figured out how to block commercials on there too. Only option is paying them $10 a month to go ad-free, and I'm not ready to do that just yet.

Plus, my computer got an upgrade last year, so the CPU thing isn't an issue for now.

You probably wont be able to ever get around them on a Roku...that's a walled garden you'd have to jail break I think.

If I try to comment on YouTube my keyboard locks up.
I cannot comment anymore and if I do try my keyboard freezes, even when I close YouTube , the keyboard stays.

I was actually going to send you tube an email saying they were really messing up my phone.

reply

[–] Galilguy (2472) 10 months ago

On the YouTube App my keyboard sometimes freezes for about 5 - 10 seconds then works. It seems like the company is run by morons..

reply

[–] Bloodworth79 (5687) 10 months ago

I would wait the 10 seconds. But this freezes until I get a massage saying the app stopped working, wait or close. There was a article the other day where it said companies will start being. More diverse by adding people with intellectual disorders and psychiatric disorders.

So in layman's terms, they want to start hiring crazy retards.

I don't have an ad blocker on my phone (yet) and comments on youtube still get locked up. Then it suddenly unfreezes after a while.

Yahoo is a news aggregate provider who gets their news from many different sources including Fox News. But I get it...

"I don't understand it" = Fake News!
"I don't like it" = Fake News!
"It hurt my feelings" = Fake news!
"It's mean to Orange Master" = Fake News!
"It's truth and/or facts" = Fake News!

You have been regurgitating the same bullshit about how the 2020 election was stolen yet you haven't produced one shred of evidence. Why not? Don't you think your orange master would appreciate it if you provided him with proof of a rigged election? Why do you hate Trump so much that you won't help him?

No wonder you're so brain drained and cooky to the core. I checked out those sites and the lack of diversity is noticeable. Majority right-wing poliking to whining on podcasts or watching White incels game, lol. Literally there is nothing of knowledge to learn from it other than to get indoctrinated. The lack of features is also apparent. At most those platforms get is around 1-2 million tops if not less.

Wait, there are ads on YT? Never seen those before... Jokes aside, never had an issue with ads until only recently for a short while before it was all addressed and fixed. Also, it's not YT that's frying or rather slowing the view stream but the adblocker itself from a recent update which has already been addressed in a upcoming update.

reply

[–] tvfan (12729) 10 months ago

YT made changes that caused the AB to throttle cpu usage, now the devs of the AB have to make changes to compensate for it, so yes, it is YT.
