Youtube AI filter making it dangerous to watch for people with Epilepsy due to a bug (www.youtube.com)

There is a bug in Youtube's AI filter that is causing some videos to flicker. The content creator have no idea that is happening and no way to opt out. If you have Epilepsy it is recommended that you watch out for these situations

Also as content creators dont know this may be happening, if you find these issues you should try to contact the respective content creator and let them know this is happening on your specific device. Again, its so random it may only happen on some devices

Yeah it'd be nice if people would start uploading to peertube....

Yeah, YouTube is really entrenched.

It's not that hard to set your peertube account to autoupload any YouTube channel but we only get away with the IP issues while peertube is small so it's not very sustainable.

I wish more of the creators that have ethical issues with the Trump administration's actions would acknowledge that Google is enabling and actively supporting (at least through larger than usual donations to) the Trump administration and then choose to upload anywhere else, even if they keep uploads in two places. I wonder if they lose more IP control on peertube, it seems unlikely given the alternative is Google. I've tried to message a few creators but I think the larger ones have either contracts of fond memories of the community that they grew from.

To be fair, they also have little to gain now besides a slight feeling of doing something good but any alternative has to start from somewhere and need to get momentum.
