Apparently my Fedi promo video is giving error messages on YouTube (shocker).
So I just logged on YouTube Studio for the first time in months to see what's going on... and found some interesting comments.
I'm not caffeinated enough to deliver zingers but I hope my response was adequate.
On the upside, I also saw a few comments of people who set up new accounts here, so yay.
As for the unplayable problem: no clue. But this is why I LOVE #PeerTube and on my website I'm using the PeerTube embed

I wish there was a great video explainer out there about this very issue. (Feeling a familiar temptation to go down another rabbit hole) 😅🤣

The one thing that I just fail to get, is that federation needs to be explained to people, when it's a concept that pretty much everyone is familiar with.
Have a (mobile) phone? You're federating. Have an email address? You're federating. Have an internet connection? That's federated.
People understand that you don't have to be on the same (mobile) phone network, with the same email provider, the same ISP, in order to communicate with others. Many daily services work, regardless of the provider you're with, where you can pick and choose and leave, without anything changing.
So why is it so insanely difficult to apply this concept to #XMPP messaging or anything on the #Fediverse?
It drives me crazy sometimes.

I generally avoid yt if I can use an alternative like peertube, and I almost never interact with yt videos, but your videos are definitely worth boosting 😀

Edit: nope, I forgot to say where I'm from in my profile (I'll update it)

in reply to Elena Rossini ⁂ • • •I love your video! Just have to say it again.
It works for me and I am behind a strict pi-hole and two active ad-blockers on Vivaldi.
But I got an overlay-message that roughly said "If you are having trouble watching the video report it <here>".
I could imagine that this is some kind of youtube filter to push down content they don't like to get more reach. Or an anti-ad-blocker strategy.

in reply to Whatisgoingon • • •@themipper ah fascinating!!! Thank you for letting me know! 🙏
I'm also on Vivaldi (with strict "no ads, no trackers" settings) and I use NextDNS.
With NextDNS turned off I still I couldn't play the video, so I thought it might have been something to do with my Vivaldi settings...

That's something that eludes me too, this utter blindness, this inability to think for oneself…
Sometimes it feels like The Matrix is real, and I took the red pill…

in reply to Elena Rossini ⁂ • • •#YouTube has become more and more problematic throwing error messages for all sorts of reasons. Most things i watch are there given the sheer amount and variety of content vs. Peertube.
I use #FreeTube and at times have to change #VPN connections in order to watch videos, at times some will only open in a browser.
It's definitely a hot mess. I wish #Peertube were a viable alternative for more than just #foss stuff but alas, it's not even close for most of what people watch/want.

Running your own is a very difficult task these days as most peopletou want to mail to are on one ofthose services and they jave lots of additional hoops to jump through before they deign to accept
