And I’m sure it’s annoying you too. You can’t view a single YouTube video anymore anywhere one is posted, without that stupid notification popping up. Which forces you to have to go to the shitty YouTube site, log in, hope through whatever verification checks that there is and finally, you can watch the video.
Isn’t there a way anymore where people can just link videos and for them to play? Fuck you, Google.
When I was signing up for something, (maybe Lemmy?) I got caught in a CAPTCHA where I had to identify street lights. Every time I clicked one the picture would change and there would be more street lights. Eventually I gave up, clicked Submit and it let me in.
Yeah I hate that too. For me it’s always bicycles, buses or motorcycles. All the fucking time.
It’s a necessary evil sadly. The internet is so overrun with bots that if there wasn’t a captcha or those cloudflare “click here to pass” buttons, the internet would implode.
OP isn’t trying to post, just trying to view. There is no justification for a captcha there.
There is, AI bots are scraping the entire internet and overloading servers by downloading everything. That’s literally why every website is adding captchas and hiding behind Cloudflare now.
Edit: just so you know, downvoting me doesn’t change actual facts
Huh, and yet yt to mp4/3 websites work flawlessly on all videos and music. Either both humans and bots get to see it or Noone at all.
Or it’s just a shit system that doesn’t work entirely correctly. Which is evidently the case considering how inundated with bots YT is.
Meanwhile, at least 90 percent of comments on Youtube are made by bots.
Dead internet theory is real, at least on youtube.
