rutube.ru - Videos don't load

Post by UCyborg » 2020-12-31, 00:02

Came across the mentioned video site, some kind of JavaScript error occurs when you try to view any video:

Code: Select all

SyntaxError: invalid regexp group	player.js:24:163906
Any idea what goes wrong?

Why does a video player driveing script need fuckin regex?! Sure didn't a few months ago. This constant justification for functions by using them just because it is now there in Chrome is madness..

We need to not only go after websites, not just megalibs but also trace back to their dependancies and ask them why the hell they are doing this. And get them to stop it.

War against javascript domination by the thousand cuts of bullshit functions and features by the implimenting elites far up the chain needs to commence at once!

Go forth and challenge their worldview! Explode their precepts! Be an agent of your own salvation! Do it now before you have to have to submit to the Google Axis forever!

GO!!!
