I may have found that [rabbit hole](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B4c2xcNTuzs) 🔗YouTube …

… or was that part of that 2 hour video as well? (I did not get that far into the one you posted). Got into reading this document …errmm, [book](https://sharonkilby.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/W-O-S-NIGEL-COOPER.pdf).

Ah, never mind, it does get there too.  
‘fascinating’ (trying my best Dr Spock voice)

Well I am currently deep diving into salt and it’s affect on chocolate-covered caramels because that is all the space my brain has for thinking today.

I had no idea there is such a thing as solar-evaporated black Hawaiian salt with activated charcoal…

Saved the video to watch for later so didn’t get that far in but I imagine its covered.

I’d love to read his book but that link is getting flagged with a phishing warning by my antivirus 😅

Just noticed the date on that video about his daughters alleged abduction is from 2013. Which would mean she is in her 20’s now. At this stage he can’t keep blaming government collusion with child services if she still aint hanging around 🙈

I hope this Fredrick Knudsen video provides answers to the billion questions I have.

I think Ive seen a few of their videos over the years, thanks for the reminder, the algorithm just purges my “tastes” if I so much as look at anything else for more than ten minutes. Stupid goldfish memory.

Well, I got some answers. Saved the rest for a breakfast watch.

Ultimately I came out of it a little bummed out. Like the guys desire to help humanity and achieve free energy etc is admirable and something we can all get behind. But his paranoia, refusal to accept the faults in his theories from peers and colleagues and digging his head in the sand of his insane ego, right up until his passing, was just really sad.

I hope his daughter at least ended up in a safe environment and is doing well.

What the hell have they done to YT? There is no share button. I have side loaded New Pipe and I won’t let it go. Google is about to end all side loading.

But why is the share button gone? All content creators should revolt. How do you spread the word of you can’t share a link?

The ‘share’ is still there for me on YouTube itself, both on PC browser, as on mobile. Below the video, just above the description/comments, after the thumbs up/down, followed by save and report. Or are you talking about the embed here, I do recall the arrow icon in a corner? Not seeing that.

Ah, hang on, they plan on a change apparently:

I’ve noticed some weirdness going on with this the last week or so with regards to sharing a youtube link on whatsapp and the embeded preview that comes with it when you post to a whatsapp group.

All the vids I’ve been sharing this way with friends, will only show the channel name with the preview, and not the more useful title of the video that you would normally expect.

It’s extremely counterintuitive to say the least.

Maybe they don’t want anyone but the algorithm/AI sharing and suggesting videos. Just another thing taken away from us humans 😛

Just waiting for Google now to tell us that sharing media is a privilege and not a right we are entitled to, and that we should be grateful for that period where they allowed us to.

With Tim Heidecker as the Creative Director, for the Onions takeover of InfoWars, being a real and confirmed thing that is happening, lets hope that means we’ll have some Vic Berger editing magic at the forefront too (since they do work together on several things).

Until then, here’s a brand new Vic Berger edit, on Alex Jones.

So it is gone period on YT for me for individual content

If you can manage to navigate out to the main menu, you can still find it but it requires digging for it

Let’s use @toddumptious latest video as an example

 ![1000002106](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex019/uploads/etarc/original/3X/1/5/153e11916202059291b88ea88ac5f9f8d15ed52f.jpeg)

There is no like or dislike or share even if I tap more

 ![1000002107](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex019/uploads/etarc/original/3X/0/4/0496490da3cb0ffd2de9b6efe069cdc1d3f4444e.jpeg)

And it is not under the settings icon or under a long press

Ah, so they’re doing this to specifically silence me 😛

The buttons are still there for me on desktop and on android app for phone.

But these things are usually regional experimental roll outs… I honestly don’t think this one needs experimentation, it’s a stupid dumb move. If they want a cleaner UI, hide it in the three dots menu like everything else already is.

This seems like somethign that could only happen if the people running the show are asking their own AI for ideas and improvements. It certainly feels like the half baked idea of an LLM.

I already have a YouTube app problem on my Fire 10 Kindle. The new Kindles block use of chat. Grrr. “For security,” they claim.

My church uses the in-session YouTube chat as the way to enter attendance during a streamed service. Sigh.

I spoke too soon. The buttons are back on some vids but not all of them. Weird. But everything online is crap these days. It has to be AI.

I have to go out to the channel main page and tap the 3 dots to get share but still no way to like or dislike

 ![1000002112](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex019/uploads/etarc/original/3X/9/3/931a25712ab1fcd25c6741619c418168b541adf5.jpeg)

I am under a tornado watch til 1 am.

Baseball hail in OK. Reports of wildlife being injured

In place of the like and dislike ,share buttons, I now get a popup of ads that rotates every 10 to 15 seconds

Even if I rotate my phone and use full screen it will periodically push the vid to the left and use the right to popup vid info then ads

 ![1000002113](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex019/uploads/etarc/original/3X/3/b/3b91fa18c73a76107350ff3a65d708f799a6dfe9.jpeg)

Texas.

More and more the chasers are parking and sending drones into the storms

Oh good grief. If I go into fullscreen with my phone rotated, the buttons are back

It hailed for nearly 15 minutes with hail the size of lemons mixed in. Reports of cars pouring into the town just north of me with their windshields busted.

And now my power is out but the storms have mostly ended and it is nearly 1am

I hope @Clemm wasn’t near the giant fireball in TX. Was it near Ft Worth? I think it was an oil refinery or something…?

I found it. Natural gas

Similar to rock em sock em robots? Really?

Miami Herald has never seen a robotic quadruped before I guess. Or ever seen anything Boston Dynamics has done over the last two decades.

I feel the concept was lost on Beeple too. What should have been a criticism of certain folk comes off more as adulation in the execution.

They look funny as hell though
