It's a thankless job

[–] railsdev@programming.dev 68 points 2 years ago (3 children)

I actually wish it’d come back; I can’t stand being sent to YouTube.

[–] railsdev@programming.dev 6 points 2 years ago

I mean I haven’t seen it in 2-3 months.

Amén.

Although, I wish it worked on any device I have

[–] Gestrid@lemmy.ca 2 points 2 years ago

It replied to a comment I made just a day or two ago. It's definitely not gone.

[–] Moskus@lemmy.world 67 points 2 years ago (3 children)

It would be stupid, but very funny if someone created a YouTube bot for Piped links...

[–] konalt@lemmy.world 54 points 2 years ago

They'd get into an endless loop of responding to each other. Just a regular internet conversation then

[–] Pistcow@lemm.ee 21 points 2 years ago

Like when the reddit lotr bots get stuck in a loop.

What is the etiquette for posting YT links in this scenario? If the content is from YT I'd prefer to post the canonical link instead of a mirror that may go down or may get hugged to death. If you'd rather view on a mirror I'd suggest you use e.g. LibRedirect. Does this make sense? Are there better ideas? I'd like to promote non-YT frontends but am not sure what the best option here would be.

[–] jackoneill@lemmy.world 41 points 2 years ago

I would say just post the YT link and let folks do what they want with it. When someone only posts a piped link I don’t bother clicking because they are very unreliable for me and I pay for YouTube so I like to just use it and not deal with the bs.

[–] railsdev@programming.dev 6 points 2 years ago (2 children)

It would be nice if client apps allowed URL rewriting. I’m on iOS and I doubt Apple will make system-wide URL rewriting possible (ignoring jailbreaking).

[–] rbn@feddit.ch 8 points 2 years ago (6 children)

On Android you can assign alternative apps as a standard app for specific URLs. This works just fine without root etc. via the regular app settings. E.g. in my case YouTube links from everywhere (mail program, browser, lemmy, ...) open automatically in the privacy-friendly NewPipe app from F-Droid.

Couldn't a client app manipulate the URL from the fetched post content before displaying, even on iOS?

[–] railsdev@programming.dev 6 points 2 years ago

Yes, that’s what I’m wanting app developers to do.

[–] lambalicious 2 points 2 years ago

I can't imagine there'd be any damage to posting two or more links: the YT one, a piped one, an invidious one, etc... All sides of the conversation that matter are covered.

[–] Lanky_Pomegranate530@midwest.social 15 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I found Piped to be way too slow. Use Freetube instead.

[–] stebo02@sopuli.xyz 4 points 2 years ago

I'm vibing with invidious

[–] Blackmist@feddit.uk 13 points 2 years ago

I blocked it because Piped never seems to work.

[–] chepox@sopuli.xyz 11 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Do content creators get views if I watch a video through any of the front-ends?

[–] Amends1782@lemmy.ca 14 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Content creators get almost nothing from ads. You're better off donating $5 to their buymeacoffee or patreon or similar, etc.

[–] Noodle07@lemmy.world 9 points 2 years ago

Content creators barely get anything anyway

[–] jose1324@lemmy.world 9 points 2 years ago

Imo piped fucking sucks and the page barely loads

[–] newIdentity@sh.itjust.works 6 points 2 years ago

That's why I blocked it.

Maybe he overdosed on meme links

It's a meme, not a support ticket 😅

[–] Enzy@lemm.ee 4 points 2 years ago

Have you tried turning it off and on again?

[–] DragonTypeWyvern@literature.cafe 10 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Idk, might need the little guy if uBlock loses the war on YouTube.

[–] BuboScandiacus@mander.xyz 5 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Newpipe uses the piped API

[–] botorfj@lemdro.id 4 points 2 years ago

newpipe is only on android...

[–] Macropolis@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago

That's great for mobile. Desktop I don't like using piped.video because it's ugly and slow so I just grab link from there then use yt-dlp + mpv.
