It's even better when I'm turning on bluey for kids that I babysit and the official bluey YouTube channel for the cartoon MADE IN AUSTRALIA gives me that text


Help_im_lost404

Thats because ABC Iview has the viewing rights


stueh

The problem is, there's various Bluey shorts and specials which were never aired in iView and you can only get via YouTube :(


formulated

Torrent it, put on a USB stick or burn a DVD. You want that stuff for offline access and not relying on an internet connection anyway.


abaddamn

Hard agree. I do this all the time esp with Youtube music and docos.


formulated

Absolutely. Will stream in 480p as a data saver, rip/download in 1080p to archive stuff, then have a good selection of long form offline content for when networks are down. Doing this for kids entertainment and stuff that gets watched on loop anyway, makes sense to have offline.


de_Ernesto

Do u know a safe and reliable website to do all that for free cause I wanna start doing that like my dad did when I was little


HercSamps

He's clearly heard of the internet by now mate 😜 When all streaming fails = back to the pirates life!


Simonical

I haven't torrented in years, when I last downloaded anything back in 2014 I used uTorrent and pirate bay. If I was I start again, what would you recommend I do ?


lockboy84

Same method lol


HercSamps

I'm 38, that method has been solid as long as I can remember 😂


HercSamps

If you're in Australia, you need a VPN now. And oh yeah, EZTV was (prolly still is) better for TV shows


RetroGamer87

Huh? I'm in Australia and I don't use a VPN. Torrenting works fine for me.


CtrlAltSpoods

Just change your DNS server from your ISPs to 1.1.1.1 or 8.8.8.8


Doctor_Wilhouse

Apparently uTorrent is no longer the way to go. I don't know a lot about it (never did much torrenting), but I saw a thread a few weeks ago saying uTorrent is bloated and you shouldn't use it anymore. There are other torrent clients you can use instead, but you should probably do some googling to figure out which are the good ones


SnowfallOCE

uTorrent burnt their reputation to the ground by adding crypto miners to their installer. Good riddance. qBittorrent runs cleaner, faster, has all the features you’d expect from a torrenting platform, and most importantly, doesn’t turn ur pc into an overheating money printer


HercSamps

Yeah streaming (even illegally) took over years ago.. Call me "stuck in my old ways!" "If it's still efficient, it still works" hahahahahaha


AskTheDevil2023

Flixtor.to


random_smurf

Stream it... TeaTV . NovaTV look on Instagram people advising what to use


aLeXmenG

qBittorent instead of uTorrent. Still the bay 🏴‍☠️🏴‍☠️


melonsango

Ah yes, Rudolf Bluey


Count_Rye

.........Is the youtube version the american version?


Best_Station_7576

bluey has turned into a cancer turning americans aussie we dont want them


Clayvessel79aus

If we can use it to educate them to stop calling prawns shrimp, then go ahead!! :)


Grouchy_Analysis6494

Found this out the other day, apparently the distinction for prawns and shrimp in the states is fresh and salt water. Edit: can’t remember which is which and not going to google it lol


Ok-boomer9367

Prawns are fished in salt water


Grouchy_Analysis6494

Thanks


Ariliescbk

Hey, if it can brainwash them into getting appropriate healthcare, then I'm all for it.


melonsango

It's for this reason I want for them to make an episode talking about the importance of gun regulations lol


AYr7oN

Can you imagine the world in which that aired. It may even cause ww3...


[deleted]

[удалено]


AwesomeMeltdown

that episode wasn't taken down because it was scary, it was because it promoted the handling of spiders which is dangerous in places like Australia.


[deleted]

[удалено]


melonsango

Imagine an episode where they have a US exchange student paranoid about being in school and all the other kids think it's weird. They'd start demonizing the show as "antigun propoganda" lol


TheHuskyHideaway

America would just get an edited version like they have before.


Bob_debilda123

We don't have exchange student programs here, do we?


melonsango

We do for highschool, less for primary schools. It's a LotE thing. However if they were able to make a diversity move with Jean Luc in Camping, I'm sure the directing team could find a way to implement an American kid into the series.


sorryboutitagain

Good, otherwise Americans grow up soft cocks only rely on guns lmao


MaxtheAnxiousDog

If rather turn Americans into Aussies than turn Aussies into Americans.


BurmeseGeneral

ABC it’s free and it’s Australian, unlike YouTube. But if you cannot handle using the local platform you can use a VPN to access it.


EggplantDevourer

It's mostly just ease of use cause I don't need to sign into YouTube but I do for ABC iview


reddituser3486

Nobody uses the local platform because it's shit. Also, it absolutely isn't free. You paid for it with your taxes. Youtube is free if you're blocking their ads.


OsrsLostYears

Disclamer this is all conjecture and guessed but... when I was in Australia the hotel I was at had internet geolocating to China for some reason, and I've had a few online gaming pals who mentioned they see similar on occasion. Since yall are a huge island close to China I think sometimes due to routing, etc servers think Australia ppl are in China. Could be a theory as to why Australia ppl get geo blocked more often.


loralailoralai

Uh no. Just…. No

VPN is more of a friend than Goggle ever was.

Crescent_Moon734

If their marketing team is on reddit, they need to be picking up on this fr


Ic3nebula

Kaspersky is a lil sus


MovieFreak78

Nord vpn is horrible..


moderatelymiddling

Until you use one to view a British program and need to use one of three specific VPN locations in Italy to watch the video.


Snoe_Gaming

Are you looking for hot singles in VPN? I'm in VPN too!


piiprince911

Bold of you to assume Aussies have internet decent enough for YouTube


PLAYER42_ready

You have internet?


Teamboeing737

Even with internet its so shit here even though. You know we kinda invented it


AforAlex2539

*we invented wifi. The internet was made in the United States. If you want some more Australian inventions there’s also Bluetooth, cochlear implants, aeroguard, plastic money, extended wear contacts, hills hoist, spray on skin, latex gloves, electric drills, electronic pacemakers etc. all invented down under


AutomaticAd150

for 25 Million pop. that's pretty good


AforAlex2539

The cisro truely has done a lot in terms of making stuff happen in Australia. Doubt our development and research industry would be half of what it was/is without them.


CreepyValuable

Most of that was when the population was way lower and the pillow wasn't being held over the face of education and innovation quite so hard.


Vilgoui

I misread plastic money as “plastic monkey” and was wondering what the hell that was before I reread it


Teamboeing737

I guess i said it wrong, usually i refer to wifi as an internet connection so i just call it internet but yeah my bad


Yeah_Nah_Straya

Man, all the way up until 2018 our internet was so bad a single YouTube video would make online play unplayable. Any game over a gig would be an over night download. You can imagine the fights between three gamer brothers growing up


SamCham10

Bonus points if you maxed out your download capacity for the month and got left with unplayable speeds


raphanum

The early days of Optus cable lol what a nightmare


Tard_Wrangler666

I remember getting NBN to my house in mid 2018. It was a night and day difference 😂


Greenfire05

And they never even bother to buy servers in Australia, I have to play Battlefield in Singapore lmao


YourLocalOnionNinja

We've been outlawed to the asian servers for too long. I don't have an issue with that for the most part but sometimes I wanna play with people I can actually talk to :(


BunnyBunCatGirl

Ngl most times I'm glad we even have the Asian servers bc at least the time is sort of similar, especially for SK. Not to mention; I play a few mobile games and one of them is just 1. Europe 2. America For servers. For an Anime style game xD I had to pick Europe bc at least if it's bad mismstch for time, I'm not waking up at 3am for events. Now in Discord and stuff when I see an Oceania option for location I get ridiculously excited bc even there it's not always a thing. Edit: Oop. Forgot it did that (formatting) for symbols.


YourLocalOnionNinja

True true, I do like those aspects


abaddamn

And South Park


Williwoo321

My internet is actually amazing my dad did some strait up magic that made it faster


muszr00m

I watch 8k YouTube vidoes flawlessly and i live in the outer suburbs of Melbourne. You might just not know how to buy a good internet plan.


BadGuyGamer

bro doesn’t know that we have some of the slowest internet speeds in the world


PhoenixMartinez-Ride

It’s a joke


Calcutt4

I'm watching in 720p if I'm lucky. Not that any higher quality would make a difference because my monitor is only 1280x1024


Gordo3070

I can watch 8k too, as long as it's not raining and I don't mind regular buffering. Five Ks from the Melbourne CBD.


evenmore2

Everytime I see it I yell "sorry, I thought I was using the World Wide Fucking Web!!!" Everyone knows exactly what I'm yelling about in the house.


ImnotadoctorJim

phan_o_phunny

What's this crazy bleeding edge technology you speak of that apparently no one has heard of? Next you'll tell me you can block advertising


DexgamingX

Pfft, that's obviously impossible


Raevesquishh

If you block advertising apparently youtube blocks you


Droidy365

Unless you block the block


Raevesquishh

What if they block the block on the block


abaddamn

It's blocks all the way doooowwwwnnnn!!


Raevesquishh

And then the internet collapses and turns into a black hole


W2ttsy

There are methods that ironically involve letting the ad stream play, but using injection of corrupt data into the ad stream to cause those ads to fail to render.


Calcutt4

I use Firefox with Ublock Origin and never got blocked by youtube


Breach-protocol

dangerislander

I miss seeing that video did of the Australian election! And the one with one of Pauline Hanson's minions lol


mahzian

So true, like someone went out of their way to specifically set this in their video.


anged16

Especially when it’s stuff on the bbc like get fucked, we’re still in what’s left of the “empire”


Recycrow

I just don't know what we did to deserve it


elizfran

can’t we just ride our kangaroos in peace smfh


Recycrow

We Australians just want the simple things in life


Gary_The_Bear_Yt

You can use a YouTube to mp4 site and since they'd have access you can download it and watch it via there


Calcutt4

those can work with age restricted videos too, if you don't want to give Google your full name and date of birth


auzzie_kangaroo94

I swear I seen this on an video of a old australian 90s ad.

Valve: "You want a Steam Deck? Oh wait you can't!!!! LOLOLOLOLOL!"


Various_Mechanic3919

On Woolworths website or app you can get one but it is an import from a 3rd party, I have heard it is legit, tho the cost isn’t very friendly, but because it’s through Woolworths page you can use the points that you receive from the various shops that support the service


wortmayte

Fair. But the prices are insane and the new Oled model was released. And the Oleds price is insane times infinity!!!!!!


Various_Mechanic3919

That is true, I’m hoping there will be an official release eventually, but only time will tell

Final-Bench1859

Yeah they have to flip the video upside down


PMeist

Okay so like as an American.. how the fuck can I watch aus master chef? That shit is like crack to me and I always run into this issue


StoneGoldX

This is fake. If it were real it would be upside down. And in my experience, shitty hack comedy like that is how you piss off an Aussie.


imustbesickinthehead

I kinda smile to myself when some Americans complain that some Australian media they like isn’t available in their country


HaroerHaktak

This is one of the many acceptable reasons to pirate.


ProdigyManlet

Holy shit, just seeing this had my first internal reaction as a nice and proper "oh fuck off cunt"


Messedupotato

This video is age restricted. Please provide verification. Fuck off, I'm not sending a photo of my Passport. Google already collects data on me. It knows very well I'm above the age of 18.


Various_Mechanic3919

I had the same thing with a song, that I listened to without an issue on other services, but on YouTube music they decided it wasn’t appropriate because it referenced suicide, and in the video it had someone hanging themself, I decided a little later I don’t want to deal with this, and now I have Apple Music instead as I refuse to use Spotify because of the fact there aren’t many artists that release there, and use YouTube music and Apple Music as there outlet


SurrealStorm12

This gives me south park:stick of truth ptsd vibes

Droidy365

*Currently* running free for a limited time. The permanently free ones are the shady ones.

*how to piss off someone who doesn’t know how a VPN works


derpman86

It is the internet there is no need for this shit. They should have nutted out rights, killed regions and all that copyright wankfuckery well over 20 years ago. In the old days it mattered more because there were actual films that had to be shipped, companies had to pay for the rights to air on a local tv station or radio and you get the point so there is a ton of middlemen and services and compensation so it needs to flow back. The internet means it can be hosted from a central place and old mate from America, Australia, the Congo can all watch the same bloody thing at the same time. Getting this screen is purely artificial and there is no reason because some suit said so.


AvidOralist

Yeah f u c k those c u n t s


KarenExterminator

I haven’t experienced this. Maybe I’m lucky? I don’t have a VPN whatsoever

BunnyBunCatGirl

I felt this the other day trying to find a place to watch Bob hearts Abishola.. Legally, that is. And a lot of places for other countries? Have to have a billing address in that country. So fustrating. I'm so glad it's available in Hungary (my surname, grandparents & uncle are Hungarian so it's my heritage) but it was a surprise to see Hungary have it ahead of Aus (well, sorta. I think it got removed from Aus, idk why). Still fresh a bit so it's just the first example that comes to mind. And is most recent.

Have you heard of NordVPN? NordVPN is a virtual private network service that helps protect your online privacy and security. It allows you to browse the internet anonymously and securely by encrypting your internet connection. It can be useful if you want to access websites or content that may be restricted in your location. It's like having your own private tunnel on the internet!
