It's been interesting reading this #reddit thread. People are understandably upset about the prospect of #youtube showing ads during the pause screen. Lots of people threatening to leave YouTube, but at the end of the day, most won't.

There are alternatives. I've been running #tilvids for over 4 years now. We have great content creators like @thelinuxEXP sharing content. All people have to do is actually start voting with their eyeballs...

Heads-up for the #PeerTube community, it appears Google has been blocking many tools/IP ranges that try to synchronize with YouTube. At least for the creators on #tilvids this is a massive challenge, because they can no longer sync THEIR content on multiple platforms, requiring them to manually upload to both TILvids AND #youtube We appreciate our creators going the extra mile, and please remember this is why it's so important to support alternative platforms.

People can be as upset about this as they want, but so long as they continue to watch #YouTube they continue tacitly supporting their user-hostile actions. If you really want to make a difference, stop watching, and tell content creators why. When you can convince them to move to platforms that don't shove ads down your throat every 3 minutes, THAT is when you'll see #Google change their tune.

You probably know that you can see all the latest #tilvids videos by visiting the site at tilvids.com. But did you know you can also get an RSS feed of all the new videos as well? Using a client like @thunderbird you can add the feed from https://tilvids.com/feeds/videos.xml and get a nice list of every new video shared with the community!

A tale of two social media sites...

#tilvids joined Mastodon mostly to get people to stop badgering us to do it. So glad we did though, because our reach here is 6x what it is on Twitter, and the quality of the engagements is much, much higher. Very glad to be here!
