People, more than often, become prisoners to conveniences.


See:

You make a video about cleaning up the waste, and that's something important and is done by good people, but then you post on Youtube and they show you first an ad about fast fashion.

Tell me this is not the most ironic thing. Same as selling hard-copy books about deforestation on Amazon.

And this is not to blame anyone, but please if you have other options use those too, like Peertube or making your books digital.

If you are making content about restoring nature we invite you to our Peertube instance videos.trom.tf - no ads or any bullshit like that.

Let's be reasonable people and at least try. Youtube is an ad-company and if we want to cut down from this insane consumerism we should try to avoid Youtube or at least use adblockers.

But he'd be second in line of succession to the presidency. Wouldn't that mean he'd have to be US-born (which he's not)? πŸ€·πŸ½β€β™‚οΈ

That's how I spent my year 2024 in nature & wildlife conservation. In this video is overview of all projects, events and activities I participated and volunteered. I think it was a good year. What about yours ???

@Dima this is how your videos look on Youtube for most people:

Before they watch a video about volunteering, restoring nature, cutting down the waste and so forth, they will watch very attractive ads for buying shit, Big Macs, harmful and wasteful products. I find that beyond outrageous.

So I think we should try to push your Peertube channel more. Maybe you can tell me what format are you saving your videos in so I can look what may be the issue with uploading them to Peertube. We have uploaded thousands of videos to Peertube and everything works great.

We should change these habits too of posting on these ad-network. I get it about the reach, but in parallel we should give these alternatives platforms a try too.

Personally I'm also worried that these adblockers will stop working one day, especially now that YouTube is trying hard to get rid of them. So it's a temporary solution at best.

That's another issue indeed. Google Chrome will not work with adblockers anymore, or not well at all, after that manifest v3 bullshit.
