Although Invidious is now broken due to recent youtube changes, that always happens tho. Cat and mouse game

Yeah I really needed it tonight and it was a major disappointment that all of the public instances are broken with no ETA on being fixed. As I mentioned in another thread, I love invidious, I’m deeply grateful to the devs an those who run the public instances, I deeply mourn piped, but I fear for invidious’ future. It already seems like a once much more thriving community has been struggling to keep going. Like, it was sad to see ggtyler leave the scene, though I get why and can’t blame him.

I know it’s self hostable of course but I don’t think most people are willing to do that, tbh I’m not even sure I am. But I guess I’d have no other choice if the public instances all went kaput because I will not be using that disgusting site youtube and giving them more traffic. I’d be too bitter to be able to enjoy or even focus on any of the videos.

oh yeah, reddit even banned the sub for it, r/invidious. What fuckin’ bullshit is that, you know?

I do too. Like, exactly - I use LibRedirect to make sure I never end up at youtube but only an invidious instance, and I run ublock origin religiously everywhere (even though it’s thankfully not needed on invidious).

But I really do fear for invidious’s future. Like right now it’s totally borked because of more youtube fucking around with them. I’m sure they will get it working again soon, but there are only 3 public instances now, they’re doing it just because they’re cool, but it’s not easy to constantly be fighting against youtube’s changes, they have to pay for servers and don’t get enough in donations to make up for it, so I couldn’t blame those last 3 for burning out at some point, like ggtyler did. And that’s even if youtube doesn’t finally do something that breaks invidious for good, like how pipe is now completely broken. Sorry if I’m dooming a bit, but it does sometimes look pretty bleak.

Ah ok, my mistake. I saw you comment “Hey everyone, it’s time to come discuss Capital again!” on that reading group’s first gathering for Volume 1 Chapter 1 and so assumed that meant it wasn’t your “first rodeo.”

Lol, this just gets better and better. The person you’re responding to and accusing of not understanding economics is someone who literally hosts the reading groups for books on economics, arguably the most definitive books on economics ever written, as well as scientific socialism and socioeconomic theory, who has read Kapital multiple times, maintains the active reading list for multiple lemmy communities, and has doubtless read more about economics this year than you have read on any topic (from See Spot Run to Harry Potter), in your entire life. But you’re telling him he doesn’t understand basic economics.

Seriously, if you actually have any interest in pulling your head out of your ignorant ass and maybe growing the fuck up a little bit, go look at his reading course suggestions on economics, it’s section 3, and get to reading. Twerp.

Wait, is this a bit and someone is actually playing the role of dipshit liberal know-it-all? This must be a bit and I fell for it.

And now an “I know you are what am I!” comeback attempt? Are you actually in grade school?

Also I’m a She not a he, “buddy.”

A BigBrain with a 5th grader’s (at best) understanding of economics who has never even been exposed to the labor theory of value and who literally doesn’t even know what Socialism is (confusing it with some form of Social Democracy) bursts into a room full of people who have been studying economics for years and starts explaining to them his ever so smart 5th grader’s version of economics. It’s so on the nose it’s like a badly put together meme.
