I just blocked YouTube on all devices in the house
- touchpadder 6y agoThere's more of mentioned issues in MSM. There's literally everything on YT so it's better to teach your children how to navigate instead of imposing a total ban where the kids will find a way to access it anyway. edit: their algos are now extremely biased towards msm news though so watching it is as stupid as watching television. The days where the internet was making us smarter are long gone.
- zulgan 6y agoI spend considerable amount of time doing that, but the content creators are so extremely aggressive, they make new channels with new clickbaits with same garbage, just to get the children's clicks. and they are so many! especially now during covid19 lockdown, the garbage produced is intense. and of course our screen time is higher than ever.
- glennvtx 6y agoHOW. Youtube is a multi-tentacled beastie. What did you do to effectively block it?
- zulgan 6y agofor now i just blocked it on the pi-hole, wildcard blocking: googlevideo.com ytimg.com youtube.com youtube-ui.l.google.com ytimg.l.google.com ytstatic.l.google.com googleapis.com and it works fine
- kindly_fo 6y agoI have configured ublock extension to block everything except player I would like to block YouTube altogether but there are some articles that point to YouTube, movie trailers, etc.
- kindly_fo 6y agoOne more thing about youtube. If someone forget how retarded are people just say him to open YouTube trends/top page.
