    You posted a youtube short link on lemmy? Yeah, that’s not going to go over well.

    There’s a lot of tech literate people here, and from my experience many of them dislike short-form video content with sound. Especially when its from Alphabet, Meta, etc.

      I thought we agreed to use alt frontend redirects for backward compatibility with old stuff. YT links don’t bother me. I don’t even mind the tiktok style videos.

      It’s the rich data harvesting apparatus surrounding the technology that I instinctively want to drown in a bathtub.

        I hate short videos with sound. Sound is so demanding of attention so much so that it drags others into it. I don’t even want to focus on it that much.

          Fair. Having the option of sound is nice but if you’re blocking cookies and other local storage the only way an app can save a default mute preference is URL parameter, so I use StopTheMadness for stuff like that.
