    Oh fuck YouTube has started putting adverts into the middle of songs now.

    I just played the spin doctors little miss can't be wrong and 1 minute in I got an ad.

    I think it might be time to go back to listening to music the old way.

      Editing … My YouTube account isn't allowed to view videos anymore, on any device. I can watch videos in incognito mode. From what I can find, lots of people have had this issue, and YouTube's never really done anything to help anyone who reached out. I was able to get YouTube to respond until I detailed the problem, at which point they ghosted me.

      Editing … In my case, I only watch a handful of YouTube channels (of which 90% of those are inactive or don't offer the content I like anymore), so for me it's feasible to download every video. Of course, if YouTube is a big part of your entertainment life, then I agree that downloading every video beforehand is probably a hassle. Still, preservation is important... I still have a couple YouTube videos from 2006 on my PC that are now lost media.

      Editing … I reached out to YouTube's support for paid customers, since this concerns a paid membership, even if it was Google's money I spent. They said engineers are working on the issue and others have reported it too, and that I'd get Google Play credit to renew the membership. No timeline on how long the fix will take.

    I use Google's "Google Play Rewards" app, where they give me ten-second surveys, I lie, and they give me Google Play money. Usually I pick answers I think will bait more surveys or extend the current survey, to give me more money. I also lie so they don't have an accurate profile of me.
    Then I go to YouTube and use that money for free channel memberships! Yippee!
    Then I load a login session cookie into JDownloader and download the members-only videos.

    YouTube recommended this video to me, which currently has 4 views. I clicked because it had a shot of the amazing movie C'mon C'mon in the thumbnail, and I was curious what it was doing there. The video is a VOD of a livestreamer reacting to a video essay comparing C'mon C'mon with a Minecraft Machinima.
    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0aUoolvrxUk

    I'm not into reaction videos, but something about this had me puzzled, and when the video essayist showed a screenshot of the original video's YouTube upload, I noticed it was posted by the YouTuber I was currently watching (which I might've caught onto earlier if I hadn't skipped ahead). I checked his channel, and the video is just over a minute long, and only has 225 views.
    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GgL-sweUciI

    I then looked up the video essay, which only has 55 views.

    I want to sign in to a different account, but Google makes it impossible!
    First they ask for a password. Sure, that makes sense.
    Then they ask for a verification code by e-mail. Okay then. Annoying, but I can do that. And I did.
    THEN they ask for a fucking phone number! I DO NOT WANT TO GIVE AWAY MY PHONE NUMBER! The fact that Google forces you to use one is super disgusting and an invasion of privacy. Do you know a free burner phone number website? ONE WITHOUT ACCOUNT CREATION AND 100% FREE? ONE THAT WORKS WITH YOUTUBE?

My only mobile number is actually through Google Voice (free, but requires a Google account), and it's the number I have tied to both my Google accounts. Yeah, I'll verify my Google account with my Google number.

    I found a browser extension called PocketTube and it allows you to sort your subscriptions into categories!

    It's awesome, if I'm fancying a bit of boxing I just click the boxing folder and all my boxing channels are there. I spent ages sorting everything into categories, you can put stuff into multiple categories too, like say, educational and science or educational and documentary. Or all 3 if it fits.

    Enjoyed watching the Jellyfish Can't Swim in the Night, but VTuber Legend captured more of the true VTuber vibe. I mean, they played Among Us.

    And yeah, they didn't call it that, but it's Among Us, dammit.

    Did I mention that VTubers still exist? Well anyways, it's apparently the latest trend in anime shows now. And at least we have one good comedy about them, because that first Hololive anime was total garbage.

    So yeah, at the very least, go watch VTuber Legend: How I Went Viral after Forgetting to Turn Off My Stream.

So they entertain people with a 3D anime avatar, mostly by streaming games, singing and doing dumb ASMR s**t. It's not very wholesome, but it has its niche audience of people who...like crude humor?

It's just that I find it funny and unexpected how mainstream it has become.
