I dunno dude. I can't seem to play anything on slate. ghostery blocks it. So I disable ghostery and the video element loads. I click play and the video does not play.

YouTube works fine with ghostery.

I want to watch shit online without people watching me. I don't think that's unreasonable. Lots of sites try to make it really fucking hard, though.

/end rant




If sites embedding video would simply post links to the YouTube content, that would help markedly.

I had the same problem FWIW: absolutely nothing on Slate's page evidenced that there was video let alone where it was hosted. Thanks HN for pointing out the sources.


I use disconnect.me which is similar to ghostery, doesn't have that problem.
