Don't dislike. Engagement promotes the video. Comments, likes, subs, shares, and dislikes all tell the algorithm to promote the video.
Don’t click dislike, it does nothing except promote the channel.
That’s very funny cause I’m watching jack and z8 right now. I do wonder if it’s above a certain rate though. He should make a video that tells people born in the first half of the year to upvote and the second half to downvote. See what happens then. Or first three months, last 9 etc.

Shame youtube removed the like/dislike ratio which we previously used for mass protest against video authors for their wrongdoings. Channels can now shovel shit onto us with no public humiliation inflicted on them in return.
Come to nebula.
No AI voices there.
But some categories are completely devoid of content because its an invite only platform
Yes, that's how you keep AI slop out.
Suit yourself but I think it makes Nebula have better quality. It's quality over quantity.
I didn't have an invite i just joined through Jacob Geller's YouTube channel
Invite for the creators.
That makes sense

Or means.tv
That looks just like nebula (also a creator-owned platform), but with exclusively communist content.
Is nebula not a subscription only platform?
Yes. But also entirely ad-free, and with lots of quality creators. And it's quite a bit cheaper than pretty much any other streaming service.

Can't say, never tried it, just know that it's creator owned and doesn't have any AI voiced content.
Nebula is very US-centric in content, payment and organisation. I would love a more international approach.

I have been on the edge for a while now, I'll probably end up at least trying it after my vacation. Do you really think it's worth the subscription price?
To me it's definitely worth it. Many of my favorite creators are already on there. I get exclusives and early releases, high definition, and no ads. And the nice fuzzy feeling of knowing that my views result in the creator receiving some actual money.
I still use YouTube quite a lot... But I find that I'm using Nebula more and more as time goes by.
Alright, thanks for taking the time to comment. As I said, I'm pretty much already going to give it a go, but hearing people's thoughts on it is appreciated. The thing about actually knowing you're contributing to paying the people whose content you like does sound appealing.
Depends what you want out of it.
I'm not aware of any content on nebula that isn't also on YouTube.
So if you're happy with the YouTube experience, probably not.
I joined when Tom Scott started posting his new videos there one week earlier than YouTube, and offered a discount code for 50% off for the first year.
1 year for $30 is worth it to me.
I was sick of clicking on an interesting-looking video in the YT feed that turned out to be AI slop or rage bait.
And the autoplay of the next video the algorithm chooses annoyed me, too. YT was also the last Google service I still used, so ditching it felt good.
Plus, my favorite creator Real Time History thanks people watching on nebula at the end of each video, saying "We couldn't do it without you", which makes me all fuzzy inside.
There’s a lot of content that’s just on nebula not YouTube, but it’s mostly long form stuff. There’s a whole section at the top titled “Only on Nebula”.
Yeah, I think YouTube will be the last Google service I let go also, a lot of content I enjoy is the exclusively there as far as I know. But I have also decided to get rid of Google, meta and such as thoroughly as I can, so I do hope some combination of nebula, peertube and/or whatever else google free I can find will suffice. I am mostly annoyed by the similar things you were when it comes to yt. Thanks for the Tom Scott shoutout, I wasn't aware he started making new stuff. You'd think YouTube algorithms would let me know lol.
Do you watch a lot of YouTube and at least a few are saying they are on Nebula? Then absolutely

I really recommend having a youtube feed that is just subscriptions. No recommended section. It's quite nice
I recommend not having a feed and instead using a self hosted RSS service like FreshRSS to subscribe to channels you care about
Then you can use filters to drop out the boring bits like shorts from the feed easily.
That's how I've used yt for like, 15 years? Nothing on the homepage is relevant, if I want to see new 'creators' I find them organically from the ones I already watch, or recommendations by friends. I actually forgot that the homepage isn't the subscription feed a couple years ago and was like 'the fuck is all this shit' (I don't use the website that often, got logged out).
NewPipe excels at this task.

I prefer normal text-to-speech (with subtitles ideally) if the person making the video can't speak themselves. Vocaloids/UTAUs can also be used for voicing but I imagine that's a lot of tedious work. They can also pay someone or ask a friend to voice their script for them.
AI generated voices are a sign that the whole thing is slop. Not worth watching. Same applies for AI generated thumbnails.
What about strictly TTS models, which would probably be lumped under ANI (artificial narrow intelligence), which has been around a long time? There's cloud based ones, but also some good local ones. Throwing out the content just because of how the voice is made is one level from doing that because a person sounds funny, ot looks a certain way. Which is fitting, since that's probably why some of them use TTS, to avoid comments that attack them personally.
Search for information. Get reddit with a mix of bot posts and a long list of Ai generated sites that don't even make sense.
Read more, watch fewer videos. Bonus: books cannot contain unskippable ads.
books cannot contain unskippable ads
Ready Player One might disagree
I know at least one channel that does so because they have a thick accent. Not all AI voices are bad
I would frankly prefer a thick accent, and some subtitles... Even AI generated subtitles with a quick proofread pass, is vastly superior to AI voices IMO
- See an intriguing video
- Open channel
- 4 videos a week, each around 20-30 minutes of duration
- Channel created after 2022
- Do not recommend this channel
I am actually so thankful for the AI voices.
I used to feel guilty for dismissing videos with thick accents because I couldn't tell if it was the content was trash or I just couldn't understand the accent.
Now with AI voices I can confirm that the content was indeed just trash.
My great grandpa used to call me chicken cock Santa until I asked him to stop and then he just stopped.

See link with interesting title.
Look at actual domain, if it's *tube/invidious immediately skip over link.
Click, see it's loading (any) video site.
Immediately close page.
Skipping some steps here, usually fast enough that you don't even have to hear voice.
If you won't write it out in text, it's not worth receiving the information.
what do you do however when the voices in your head become ai
