[Linganth] Youtube Videos in Class: What to do about ads?

Or uBlock Origin, which is by the original author of uBlock (now developed by someone else)!

 

Chrome: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/ublock-origin/cjpalhdlnbpafiamejdnhcphjbkeiagm

Firefox: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-us/firefox/addon/ublock-origin/

 

Kind regards,

Since AdBlock has come up multiple times, it's worth noting that AdBlock Plus has an "Acceptable Ads Program" where corporations can pay money so their ads can still be seen by users. A fantastic alternative that doesn't have that function is uBlock, which is actually a bit more lightweight of a program than AdBlock anyway. You can download uBlock from:

 

Chrome: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/ublock-origin/cjpalhdlnbpafiamejdnhcphjbkeiagm

Firefox: https://addons.mozilla.org/nl/firefox/addon/ublock-origin/

Safari: https://extensions.apple.com/details/?id=net.gorhill.uBlock-96G4BAKDQ9

 

Best wishes,

Josh

Hello all,

 

Not sure if this was discussed, but another option might be "Ad block Plus".  You can download it here  https://adblockplus.org/. It has worked well for me in the past.

 

Good luck,

Shannon

Thanks all! The downloading solution is a lifesaver. Now to figure out how to sort through all of the "how to" videos to get to more of the ones that include (moderately) naturally occurring interaction. I wish there was a linganth channel on YouTube!

Hello all,

 

Another option for those who do not want to download the videos is ad blocking software. This is what I use:

Apologies Sonya, Kathryn and others,
After some testing I've discovered that the very official looking 'Download' button that appears to the right of the subscribe button on my screen was not placed there by YouTube but by an add-on I installed some time ago called Video Download Helper: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/video-downloadhelper/

In any case I can report that once installed in Firefox it works very well and is slightly faster than savefrom.net.

If you go to en.savefrom.net, you can install a downloader widget for free. It's what I use with Safari, and it rarely fails me. I think that Firefox might have its own downloader. Does anyone know?

Piers, what browser do you use? Mine (e.g. I just tried Chrome, but also Safari) don’t have that download option. I would be glad to switch if I knew what to switch to.

 

Thanks for any further info -

Actually, these days you can download directly from YouTube without using an add-on. Underneath the title of the video and to the right of the 'Subscribe' button is a 'Download' button.

Hi all,

 

I’m teaching a large Language and Culture class, and I’m wanting to play various Youtube videos as examples for various topics. I’ve done this in the past, but not for some time. I’m now running into the issue of having to sit through an ad before every clip, which obviously won’t work in a 50 minute class (beyond the ethical implications). I searched and found that you can now pay $9.99 for "Youtube Red,” which allows you to access videos ad-free. I’m wondering, however, if there are any other ways around this that any of you have found.

 

Any advice appreciated!

 

Thanks,

Sonya
