There are many video services you can find with a Google search; whether they meet your criteria for censorship or not is something you will have to determine, by looking at their terms of service. You've not followed up in many of your other threads, and have even said you won't look at things or 'have time' to run a command...certainly not much incentive for folks to continue to do things for you:

OP: phone verification is not the definition of "censorship" but could be related to privacy issues. Censorship means "the suppression or prohibition of any parts of books, films, news, etc. that are considered obscene, politically unacceptable, or a threat to security."

What I've found helpful is using youtube-dl to download videos and play them on mpv.

Acknowledge you saw the posts? Post your solutions back? Answer the questions you've been asked??? ANYTHING??? People volunteer their time to try to help you, but you don't seem to participate in the conversation.

So we go back to your previous answers about you "not wanting to be bothered", "don't have time", and won't read any instructions...but it's somehow Linux's fault?? If you want to know about different video services, then **YOU** need to go do your own research and look up their features and requirements, since you don't like anything that's been suggested by others who have tried to help you.

Past that, if you don't like Linux, then don't use it; simple. You claim it 'dont work', and think that Microsoft/Apple are more widely used. But you are totally wrong.

Just another rant about how all alternatives "suck" because they can't live up to the standards set by multi-billion-dollar corporations.

It's time for this song again:

No, I think this time it's more about not wanting to learn, and the OP has stated this in some of their previous posts. I have a hard time using Windows, and have been Linux only for about 20 years, and have NO trouble doing anything in it, and can't say the same for Mac or Windows. It's all what you know, and if you're not willing to learn...not much point in using it.

Im just stating the fact sir! that many other have on this forum too, and that is linux and all the other freebee shite are all just unfinished school boy projects

I hardly use my linux partition on my hard drive, I use the other partistion win xp most of the time, because linux is crap!

So are those streaming sites that dont work, I registed with DTube and was given an activation key, and the key dose not work! and as ever with these people they are far far too important to listen to there users so cant be contacted THE ARISTOCRATIC AROGENT BASTARDS!!!

...except that they run most of the Internet, large corporations, many governments, and billions of users. Can't be that you just can't figure it out.

So then why bother asking anything here??? Use Windows..no one is forcing you to use Linux, and it seems like you can't figure out the simplest things, and have no desire to learn, based on what you've posted.

And since you're using Windows, you may want to enable spell-check.

So the free site you want to use is giving you the kind of service you're paying for...seems about right.
