From now on use Hooktube.com embeds in place of Youtube.com embeds

Using HK prevents the YT video from increasing view count and ad revenue

Just noticed CM forgot to fix the catalog image. I emailed him, hopefully he'll fix it later today so it's not just "no-file.png"

Isn't Hooktube owned by a goon?

Anyways, the real reason it should be used is that the youtube channel will be unable to see it has been posted here.

...

I also emailed him about max width. Needs to be 255px not 320px.

Nice timing; YouTube is entering the gun control debate with a new ban on videos which demo firearms or link to websites selling firearms or firearm accessories.

The actual ownership of hooktube is suspect. The good thing is that it strips ads and region bullshit, but nsfwyoutube does that as well.

Thanks!
FUCK YIDTUBE!

Wasnt the hooktube owner the chink who posted on Holla Forums about fucking a prositute?

Does anyone actually know who the owner of Hooktube is?

HK is not a YT replacement. Think of it as more of a server-side proxy that interfaces with part of youtube’s existing API such that it retrieves the video without adding to the view count and bypasses age or region restrictions.

d.tube is an full replacement/alternative to youtube. Gun channels et al. should move there.

No idea. I'm reasonably sure the owner posts here though, so maybe he'll show up.

this is false, you are still hitting google servers directly to get the video, not hooktube. hooktube provides no more functionality than youtube-dl does.

hooktube is not an alternative for posting a webm/mp4

Still it prevents them from being monetized therefore it is better than youtube itself.

Of course webm>all.

Hooktube is objectively worse for privacy than using Youtube directly. Hooktube is just a thin wrapper, all of the real video data still comes from Youtube's servers. So now you aren't just letting Youtube track what you watch, you're also letting Hooktube track what you watch.

Hooktube is owned by god knows who and exists purely to collect information on those who are paranoid and spiteful but too stupid to pull up the developer tools and see what domains are being contacted. Even worse it creates a false sense of security that discourages people from demanding webms, the only actual practical method we have of reducing our tracking. Adding Hooktube embeds to Holla Forums was either an act of naivety or subtle malice.

My guess is that people are just naive. It IS useful for linking things to normalfags to avoid the region locking or age-gating though.

So what's the point?

Youtube-dl is a command-line program. Hooktube is web implementation for it + a proxy.

Hooktube is an alternative to posting direct Youtube links. Use Webm/mp4 when possible, but if the video cannot fit in 16MB, use Hooktube instead of youtube. Or upload to Dtube.

False. Hooktube is a web proxy + Youtube-dl. With Youtube-dl alone you cannot download videos restricted from your region.

google is tracking the downloads, they have the accurate view count

hooktube is not a proxy, you connect to the google servers directly to access the video. it does proxy the search functionality, but that is irrelevant for hooktube embeds.
False. Hooktube does not proxy the download, it is only a proxy for the search function. It functions in the same way as youtube-dl, only it hands off the direct link to the video to the browser.

this

Download a video that's restricted in your region via youtube-dl. Now try the same in Hooktube.

To bait gullible retards into being tracked by some goon.


WRONG
Go click OP's video, open up the network tab of the developer console, refresh and watch. The largest resource (i.e. the video) comes directly from a googlevideo.com subdomain.

just because google does not region the block direct download link itself and only region blocks their bloated front-end does not make hooktube a proxy

or, as a not-retard, you're already running umatrix and you can see it there. Without allowing googlevideo the vid will not play

Gun channels can also move to Full30. The primary issue is that youtube, much like twitter, have so much market share that it makes difficult to move to an alternative. A half measure like hooktube is fine for costing youtube clicks and money, but we also need to be promoting other video sharing sites.

It also links ytimg.

it's a shitty half measure, a better half measure is hitting youtube bareback with adnauseam.

That could work too.

I'll take this opportunity to ask what should be the designated youtube replacement. d.tube has been posted, but I don't have any experience with it. Should the alternative to youtube even be on the clearnet?

listen to this user. smart smart smart

Agreed. The ideal browser solution would be to use github.com/woodruffw/ff2mpv and set it to use the equivalent of `torsocks mpv $URL`. I personally just copy and paste any youtube URL but I'm not sure everyone is willing to do that. If anyone knows of a better one that's updated to use webextentions post it.
Here's a webm guide that I'm updating soon™

What about making a browser extension that does that?

strange

because creating a web-ext front-end for ffmpeg/youtube-dl/streamlink is bloat. not to mention it has to receive a kosher stamp from mozilla and google to be listed in their app stores and even be installed into the browsers now.

I have a feeling jewgle would not take kindly to a web-ext that exists for the sole purpose of ripping content from websites.

You're asking people not to be niggers, I hope you understand that.

I thought Vimeo did thumbnails too

Dailymotion

I heard hooktube was owned by an asian guy who funded the asian male porn star white female porn star thing. Never checked into it myself though. Still afaik hooktube doesn't make ad revenue so using their service is a better choice than using kiketube.

From who exactly?

Don't tell me nobody fucking knows what the fuck Hooktube is. This is why open-source code is preferred, if we don't even know what people are fucking linking to and we just added embedding since people said it'd cut views since they were just shilling it. If it was just through the site it'd be one thing but it's still linking Google and Youtube thumbnails.

Icecat/Palemoon?

nothing about hooktube is open source

I don't see why someone couldn't just make an embed api for youtube-dl, unless it's just too much of a bitch to maintain. Unless it's about being afraid of jewtube links being taken down you're still getting your ass tracked enabling youtube embeds, but I imagine a lot of people (like ) just don't give a shit out of convenience.

Watch with MPV/MPV-youtube-dl-binding extenstion does just that. You either press the browser icon or right click on the link/embed and select 'Watch with MPV'. The extenstion pretty much saves you the trouble of copy and pasting the link into the commandline
mpv ytdl://LINK

what's the point? you could write a web-ext to pump all youtube-embed links through youtube-dl, and then replace them with direct video links, but it would be a massive pain in the ass and slow down page load considerably, and for what benefit? your still hitting jewgle servers, the fact that they don't show page views if you hit the video link directly is completely on google, but you can be well sure they are tracking those numbers, along with the ip address that hits them, indefinitely.

you could combine this with a proxy but as a service you put out for others goes, the bandwidth cost on that would be absurd.

i think your confused about what exactly youtube-dl does. youtube-dl is a scraper. a link to an embed or a page with a video goes in, a file / direct download link comes out.

there would be no "youtube-dl embed api". youtube-dl is client side. if you wanted to embed a direct link to mp4/webm, i've never tried that, that should be an option if it doesn't exist. instead of uploading a 16MB max size webm, just allow direct links and hotlink that shit off someone else's bandwidth. that's essentially what hooktube is doing with google's embed.

streamlink does this too, you can give it a player on the command line and it'll pump the stream to the player instead of to a file. streamlink is meant for livestreams but it works on static videos too.

Thanks user. For browsers that are compatible with it I use Watch with MPV otherwise I just copy and paste the link into the command line since it really isn't that much more work. I'll keep streamlink in mind now since it is always good to have multiple options on hand.

For many reasons, a mere log hit on various servers is not what is recorded as a visit. What is recorded is the occasion that scripts run on your page load, such that the appropriate cookie is set. This is how they verify that an actual browser has loaded the site.

Sure, they keep logs, but these other logs can be incredibly meaningless, and there's a good chance the NSA ignores them, in its major algorithms. If it became a more manual task, it's doubtless someone would notice. But it's the automation we have to concern ourselves about, the algorithms, and the AI.

So therefore further restricting both the reach of redpilling videos and the financial rewards to the few people still able to monetise their videos. Great plan!

The financial rewards have already been snipped off. The only ones still getting rewards are kikes. So you are calling on kikes to be supported.

What's that? Oh yes, there's a thread about this. it's from this week. Gun channels are pretty much banned from YouTube at this point:

There are still a few that haven't been hit yet. Plus that still doesn't address the fact that using HookTube to prevent the view count from increasing helps prevent the likelihood of the videos being seen by more people on YouTube. I wish there were more people as intelligent as me around who could also see through this bullshit.

Who's the stupid fucking nigger that implemented that shit anyway? Same with Religion of Cuck™. At least they changed the faggoty Holla Forums one back to normal.

Google niggered the algos long ago. Views don't mean fuck. Be a kike, get promoted. That is all. Fuck youtube. I literally uninstalled the app on all my devices. Fuck YouTube forever. Die in nigger hell, stupid app.

what is this nigger-hell you speak of?

Africa.

Then why aren't all my suggested videos blue-pilled faggotry? (Except for the front page of course.)

I agree. Youtube is obviously being selective in its promotions, it doesn't care about quality.

There is also a firefox extension that lets you block entire youtube channels from ever showing up on your webbrowser.
see:
addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/video-blocker/

This way you wont see any niggers ever again.

So does 8ch when people embed.
