I seriously doubt banning the entirety of… non-conforming third party app users is something they would loose sleep over if it means stopping that in its tracks.
They would do it happily.
I know, API, Spoofing, Ect. I know. You’ve more faith in that than myself. To actually believe there isn’t anything they can do to go the extra mile and end it, seems extremely nieve imo.
You’re not quite getting what I’m saying. I think they absolutely would/will crack down on this, but they’re going to do that regardless of what we say here. I don’t think our comments are going to push them into doing it faster, and us not saying anything is going to make them go slower. With the resources/money/monitoring/tech/etc they have, they are well aware of all these tools before most users of them are. Us saying nothing is not keeping a secret, nor is it guiding their actions. You give our comments too much weight, and much more than they will, if they even think of us.
Oh I disagree wholeheartedly. It’s not “comments”. It’s entire discussions and detailed descriptions and directions on how to get it done.
Any social media platform. Be it Reddit, Lemmy, Insta, Twitter ect.
You mention YouTube and you’re getting a discussion about the alternative. And some asshat will inevitably explain it for others that aren’t hip to it.
It’s point blank - in_your_face discussion about side stepping them. Over and over and over again every time YouTube is brought up. It’s not a “they aren’t worried about forum comments”
EVERYONE IS TALKING ABOUT IT. ALL THE TIME. ALWAYS.
This will eventually lead them to have no other choice but respond accordingly imo. Again, IMO.
You say I give our comments and discussion too much weight.
I hope you’re right. But poking a bear has no benefit. I’ll die on that hill.
You wanna learn about ways to sidestep YT? There is an old term used by old school pirates of the high seas.
You can find out more at “the usual places”.
No need to have discussions about this publicly when you have literally NOTHING to gain and something to lose.
Talk about it in the correct channels. Not in a fucking Reddit comment section. Why this method of security is worth clutching your pearls over is absolutely comical as if it’s difficult to comprehend.
But go on, pretend your Superman and ____ is beyond any semblance of being squashed. GL with that, pal.
