If you say you've escaped the botnet you are a liar.

i only use vidbit with youtube theme

>>56060108
But I don't use YouTube

>>56060462
Liar.

>>56060466
>I use it so everyone does
Fuck off

You guys do know this site uses google analytics and recaptcha is a google service, right?

>>56060108
What's botnet about Youtube? Just like with e-mail, only a fool would use it to communicate or consume information that he wouldn't like the whole world to see.

Also, why not just use youtube-dl behind a VPN?

>>56060473
>everyone uses it but I don't
Fuck off

>>56060478
Only retards allow Google Analytics to run, you're right about ReCaptcha though

>>56060482
I literally don't use YouTube. It's been at least a year since I've been to the site. I don't get what's so difficult to comprehend about this.

Are you daft?

>>56060478
Yes.

>>56060504
You're asking me to believe that you can give up youtube but shitposting on 4chan is where you needed to draw the privacy line. And you're confused why that's hard to believe?

>>56060504
Not him - did you find an alternative? I have heard of people youtube-dling all the videos they want to watch but that to me is not an alternative. There simply seems to be no real alternative

>>56060535
>You're asking me to believe that you can give up youtube
Yes
>And you're confused why that's hard to believe?
Yes

>>56060541
I just don't really watch videos online

>>56060505
Howso?

>>56060559
>dont really watch videos online
Not even Liveleak? I am a much more alert and all around safer human being having seen many videos there.

>>56060588
I don't think I've ever actually been there. I've had friends show it to me here and there but I went there a few years ago and was like nah it needs Flash and closed the tab

>>56060566
>What's botnet about Youtube?
>youtube is botnet
Do you seriously not see the contradiction in your post

>>56060481

How does yt-dl work? Doesn't it still need to parse the site complete with JavaScript like a regular browser? Isn't it still vunerable to fingerprinting?

everytime i wipe my cache and cookies i have to go through their consent thing.

You're not telling me anything I don't already know and use.

>I managed to escape the botnet because I don't have an account for subscriptions and I use yt-dl!
So this is what 'escaping' the botnet amounts to? Next thing /g/ tells me will be that it's fine to use google as long as you disable cookies.

>>56060541
Not him but I use mpv + youtube-dl to stream
No need to actually download and I can enjoy the comfyness of my own player whilst avoiding the botnet

>>56060108
There does not exist a libre website that can compete with youtube

>>56060804
>retards unironically believe yt-dl helped them escaped the botnet
What has this board come to

>>56060832
Elabore

>>56060795
Well, for a given value of escapement

>>56060795
The point is that you can subvert googles tracking and targeted ads, so they can't build a profile on you

Until GNUtube is up and running, Youtube is all I have. I mean we already have GNU social for a twitter replacement so it can't be far off.

Cute.

Where the fuck is the FSF going to be the funds for video hosting? You know google is running youtube at a loss even with ads, right?

>>56061753
I literally never use youtube to watch """youtuber"""s. But you seem to know quite a bit about them for a guy who never uses the website.

>>56060685
if it does leave fingerprints, they just say that some sweaty neckbeard is running his youtube-dl from command prompt, or maybe a script.

Implying any of you actually want to escape

Reminder that your ISP knows your every move.

To be fair, it feels like a quarter of the threads on here beg for discussion about them.

>>56060376
Where'd you find the theme? I don't want to make an account.

Newfag

can someone explain this botnet stuff? I know what a botnet is but i feel like this is an inside joke like The Game.

>>56060559
Same here. I find no interest in YouTube videos, all the shows and movies are available on torrent.

>>56066701
99% of the time /g/ says botnet they mean dataminer. Most of them probably don't even know the difference, it's just a really annoying meme we're stuck with.
