It could literally be a minute wait & I still wouldn't use Chrome.

Google heard you and have increased the Firefox delay to 1m 30s. Would you please consider using Chrome now please?

Best I can do is boycott YouTube.

I swear every time i try to use those links from the piped bot, the content either never loads or has severe buffering problems.

You need to change your instance. Next time you face this, go to preferences and try changing the instance.

[–] FartsWithAnAccent@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

I didn't know you could do that with piped, thanks

[–] pirat@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Where would one find that bot?

[–] pirat@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Oh, the one that finds every YouTube link and comments a piped link in some communities? Yeah, I find that bot very useful too!

Ranting on Lemmy about a company while being addicted to (one of) their products seems to be much more effective, according to other comments in this thread. /s

The only helpful thing to do is stopping using YT, if you think they behave in an unrespectufl way. Complaining/ranting on Lemmy is going to be exactly as helpful as my previous comment. But, hey, who cares? I don't even use it. Literally, not my problem.

[–] FartsWithAnAccent@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

What are we supposed to complain about then?

[–] Engywuck@lemm.ee -1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I didn't say you shouldn't complain. I said that doing it is useless. Stop using YT if you want to send a message or just deal with it ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

[–] FartsWithAnAccent@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

I'm gonna boycott and complain.
