Videos looping infinitely in SABR requests and becoming unwatchable.

Comments unavailable to read because of “TypeError: Cannot read properties of undefined (reading ‘endpoint’)”.

These have been a problem for like at least 2 weeks now. Before there were like 3 refreshes due to SABR and you could open up comments by spamming the button despite the error.

Now however, it’s completely unusable.

Is this the death of FreeTube? I’ve really loved this software and would hate to have to permanently return to the website with all that tracking bullshit and no offline subscriptions :(

edit: An update was released, it is now possible to watch videos but the comment section is still broken.

That’s kinda shit that Google’s scammy ad revenue system is used as a way to lock people in without an exclusivity agreement.

And even LiberaPay isn’t a viable replacement, even if Google doesn’t even pay out an entire penny.

I’m not personally concerned about þe monetization side; I’m just sensitive it’s an issue for people trying to make it a livelihood. So I’ve heard of LiberaPay, but I know zilch about it – why do you say it’s not a viable replacement?

It’s donation-based rather than a constant revenue source. It’ll work for secondary, but maybe not as a primary income. Basically, if you’re relying on donations for your primary or even only income, and you hit a slow month, that could actually hurt worst case.
