This is no shade against uncle dane or jontohil2, this is probably just youtube’s fault

    Youtube will also put videos in your feed that you can’t watch because they don’t exist yet. And you can’t hide the nonexistent video because doing so will hide the video when it eventually does exist.

    If you think things couldn’t possibly get any worse, you clearly don’t work for google.

      God I hate that.

      You go to click on it and it just says “coming soon!”, but when it does come out, it is already buried in my subscriptions so I forget it was released.

      Missed plenty of Death Battles because of this

    uh this might get me hate but this is a rare instance of youtube doing its job and doing it well.

    members videos are basically like patreon but directly on youtube. members who choose to fund a channel get ad-free and exclusive content on top of the knowledge their money/attention is going directly towards their favorite creator and not some random advertiser.

    and youtube is doing its job by advertising this content. it would be a failure of a service if it kept these videos a secret.

    “but it’s annoying”

    it says “members only” right there. just don’t click it and learn to accept that the creators you enjoy need to make a living somehow.

      Google copied the ability to download multiple apps at the same time from F-droid. They’re scared.

        Play store is preinstalled on billions of devices, F-Droid is only used by a bunch of (very based) nerds.

        Google is most definitely not scared of F-Droid

        Copied what? The ability to multidoulwnload? Like what’s been in Chrome for… forever? Of Firefox… Or Internet Explorer…Or BitTorrent?

        Don’t get all high and mighty acting like F-droid invented the concept.
