Nikki is, as she's happy to admit, quite the nerd, and one of her favorite pastimes is making her home smarter using in-house home automation that relies very little on anything in the cloud. So today, (Happy Hollidays!) she's giving you a quick tour of some of the things she's recently set up to make her home (and her EVs) smarter.

Sorry, the video takes too long to get to the subject it claims to be about.

The thumbnail alone is reason to avoid the video entirely.

I think the worst I watched was someone speaking for 5-10 minutes about their bitter divorce before getting to the subject matter.

Even on peertube with no algorithms it is required to have a thumbnail with exaggerated emotions?

You can use the dearrow extension to replace clickbait

No, peertube is a YouTube alternative. Videos must be manually uploaded over a server which is them federated to other servers. Like Reddit vs Lemmy or Xitter vs mastodon

It’s also possible they create and upload the same content in both locations but have to target the larger YouTube demographic via clickbait thumbnails.

No, it’s because they are on Youtube too.
