One advantage of linking a YouTube video in an aggregator setting is if the video goes viral, everyone is spamming Google’s server for delivery instead of hammering smaller services. Video is pretty expensive, so for now I see no issue abusing YouTube (assuming everyone here is already ad-blocking & DNS sinking anyhow).
Yeah, those 300-odd lemmy uses are really gonna be a huge burden on Google’s resources
Implying Lemmy is the only link aggregator? There are others, informal group & DM sharing as well.
Ended up installing newpipe (or other app of your choice) and set it as the default app for YouTube video links 🤷 Edit: and of course you can set it as default for other sites, including peertube
Where can I find newpipe?
You can download it on f-droid: https://f-droid.org/packages/org.schabi.newpipe/
from experience, none of yall click on anything but the youtube link.
I’m out of the loop on this. I’ve seen piped bot and looked into peertube a bit, what’s the appeal of it? Is it mainly to avoid ads?
I believe peertube is part of the fediverse
