100 sats \ 6 replies \ @DarthCoin 9h \ on: I built a website that organizes bitcoin tutorial videos from across youtube bitcoin
Really nice indeed. I have only one aspect that I do not like, but is not really about you. All videos are from Youtube. That means a noob when will open the page, and select a video, first will be bombarded with crap ads about AI and all the bullshit inserted by YT because all these YT influencers are subscribed to that crap to monetize their channels. Being embedded, sometimes you can't even skip the ads. Clearly the noob will not know what is going on.
I will suggest that if you can:
  • download yourself the videos and upload them to a CDN or something, or host yourself
  • put alternative YT links like Invidious
  • alert the viewer that maybe will be some ads
I really do not understand why all these youtubers do not post on https://bitcointv.com all those tutorials.

I'll make a place for people to fetch archived videos in case youtube goes insane, bans accounts and so on. If people want to redistribute, they can do that.
Give me a few days because everything must be streamed now that there's a war between goog and yt-dlp, so it's slow af

Perhaps @DarthCoin they are slaves to the fiat debt rentseeking paradigm whereby they can harvest rent from YouTube!
