Chrome not proceeding with Web Integrity API deemed by many to be DRM (9to5google.com)

The Chrome team says they're not going to pursue Web Integrity but...

it is piloting a new Android WebView Media Integrity API that’s “narrowly scoped, and only targets WebViews embedded in apps.”

They say its because the team "heard your feedback." I'm sure that's true, and I can wildly speculate that all the current anti-trust attention was a factor too.

Leaving google isn't hard.

Leaving YouTube specifically, however... Well, it's been getting easier as content seems to be less and less frequent or quality.

I use piped/newpipe etc. and simply support creators i watch via patreon/direct donations/merch. Less money for shitty ad company more money for creatives.

This is true, I still use youtube and I don't see it changing soon since there are no viable alternatives.

Closest I'd say would be a service like Odysee. Can't really say whether their practices are better than yt or not, but I can at least confirm I've found a few channels I don't wanna sub to on yt also have accounts on Odysee. As to whether or not they made those accounts/channels is a different story.

Peer tube but no one actually makes content for it far as I can tell.

and you can't watch content from other instances right?

Personally, I can’t imagine what is on YouTub that’s worth watching. I don’t know, I haven’t used it in ages.

[–] TheEighthDoctor@lemmy.world 3 points 10 months ago

I think that's unfair, there is so much content there and so many content creators that saying there is nothing worth watching just comes out as snobbish.

The sheer variety is the key to YouTube’s dominant position. Whatever subject you want to watch something about, there’s a very good chance you’ll find it.

Leaving YouTube specifically,

I've been using it. It's actually pretty great.

Nebula is a good alternative
