I know I’m preaching to the choir here, but this may help some of your friends or family who are on the fence about making the switch toward more open software solutions.

Sorry, I’m not a regular poster so I don’t know how to make a FOSS version of a YouTube link.

    Sorry, I’m not a regular poster so I don’t know how to make a FOSS version of a YouTube link.

    IMO, just drop the canonical YT link and let people handle it themselves (some Lemmy frontends will rewrite them to Piped/Invidious based on preference, some use browser plugins to redirect them, there’s an annoying bot that auto replies with Piped links, etc).

    I’ve always found it annoying to have to deal with links to some random Piped/Invidious instances that are overloaded, slow, unreliable, and/or halfway around the world from where I am. A direct YT link is much easier to automatically re-write to use my local/preferred Invidious instance than having to know about every possible Invidious/Piped instance in the wild in order to detect them.

    Maybe he upload interesting videos, but I only saw 5 seconds of video and he gave me a stroke, did not support those unnatural movements and all that style.

      It gets worse if anything… Not sure my friends or family would get anything useful from this.

      It’s a very unique style: he’s blending actual animation /manga characteristics in live motion. Not saying it is not your case, but in general I think you need to appreciate mangas, Japanese anime or at least regular animation to enjoy it. I personally find the style brilliant and certainly unique.

        I enjoy anime sometimes, but this really turned me off and distracted me from what they were saying. I got a similar amount in and they said they lost some work or something, but the try-hard style really got to me.

        Maybe I’m just old, idk, because it seems pretty popular.
