Looks like what I’d want to use, but to reach broad support it needs a Windows client as well.

Ah! A few ways to do things:

1. Go into the YouTube “three dots” options and you can “Create Clip” which will allow you to shave out or repeat any length of video you want. If you shave it out, you can make it private and just repeat the single video. and / or
2. Use any YouTube download site (say like this one) and just get the MP3 or video which you can play over and over using any media player. and / or
3. If you’re on a phone, use a third-party YouTube app like GrayJay and it’ll block ads.

If you have questions, ask away!

But manually looping any part of it inside the video which you can do past the first 2 minutes would still not be an ad. Also, who doesn’t use an ad blocker on YouTube? All of those problems that you listed have incredibly easy solutions that you can execute with zero training.

And realistically if they are looking for profit (and they absolutely are) I still see no reason why they would keep these up. The benefits are absolutely minimal at best and the drawbacks are quite large.

Sometimes they are, if it’s just audio and a static image. Some of them definitely are not that though. The ones with visualizers or full music videos or the like are not nearly as compressible.

So to combat use cases like this, why not just add a repeat option? There would be no break if it cached the beginning again.

Also just download the audio you want and loop it yourself. It would take roughly 2 minutes and use way less bandwidth.

I wonder why they would kill old videos instead of just removing those 10-hour plus loops of the same song over and over again that nobody watches. You’d think those giant loop videos would be taking up far more space.

I mean, I’m 41 years old. My best friend in high school was gay. He talked about it with other friends, and I’m in a pretty right wing province.

The internet is pretty far from the only place that you can discuss these things, and the kind of parents that aren’t going to give you the privacy to discuss also are definitely not the kind to just leave the internet alone and let you go crazy on it.

You’re talking about extremely psychotic (and completely ineffectual methods of) helicopter parenting.

Assuming the entirety of the rest of the world beyond social media doesn’t exist that is.
