I looked at the non Muslim Girl and real Muslim girl and it was a series of pictures featuring women with horses. These pictures were marked with a giant red x. The second half of that video was women in hijabs just staying still, marked with a green tick mark.
Is the message of that video supposed to be women shouldn’t be allowed ride horses?
Yes it is one of the many arbitrary things that that specific religion demonizes. Probably has its roots from way back in the day so that women couldnt effectively run away from the men and get very far. Same reason most Muslim women arent allowed to drive. To this day they still have to have permission to leave and go do things without a man. Edit: lol at the downvotes. Give it a google if you don’t believe me 🤷♂️

Can’t speak to Muslim culture, but European culture way back in the day didn’t want women riding horses because of sex.
There are a lot of branches on that tree, but the biggest one is that since horseback was believed to be capable of rupturing the hymen (hymen science has progressed quite a bit since I last looked into it, so I don’t know if that’s actually a thing), it was the same thing as having sex for women. They believed that women got sexual pleasure from it (which, I guess, was a bad thing), that they’d start craving horses as lovers instead of humans, and all sorts of weird shit that only twisted, perpetually horny dudes would think of.
So the sidesaddle was invented. It allowed women to ride horses while, literally and figuratively, keeping their legs closed.
Unfortunately, riding sidesaddle is a massive pain in the ass, so that fad didn’t last long. Maybe about fifty years or so of general popularity (because, obviously, you can still get a sidesaddle and learn to ride in it today, if you want, for whatever reason) over the course of all horse-domestication history.
Of course, like so many things from European history, this primarily applied to rich/noble people. The poor didn’t have the luxury of giving a fuck about most of it.

It can do that but that’s only of any interest if you think a piece of skin is important.
Even crazier is the belief that women would start craving horses as lovers if they kept riding horesback. Like…wut
I gave a Google. It’s seen as a taboo thing in many Middle Eastern societies based on a verse from Muhammad which curses the private parts of women who touch saddles. Curiously, this line has been debunked and the Quran literally mentions nothing about women riding horses.
Wait, sorry, I’m trying to understand. It’s “based on a verse from Muhammad” but it’s not in the Quran? Where is the verse then? And why does not being in the Quran invalidate it if it’s by Muhammad?
Theres quran and theres hadith, quran is infallible, hadith not so much, this “verse of muhammad” is a hadith, possibly the falsified one
Either way, it still wouldn’t make much sense for women to not be allowed to drive, but allowed to ride a horse.
Isn’t that basically the same logic why European women would often ride sidesaddle?
This was initially conceived as a way to protect the hymen of aristocratic girls, and thus the appearance of their being virgins.[2][3]
I haven’t watched the video. Just from the thumbnail I’m seeing a half-naked woman riding a horse. The message is Muslim women should be properly clothed and remain humble rather than seeking attention. If you’re wondering if this also applies to men, it does. “Give it a google if you don’t believe me 🤷♂️”
“I haven’t watched the video but I’ve decided I know what it’s message must be from the thumbnail, so you’re wrong.”
Failing to dress in a particular way is not “seeking attention”.
You could write a book on things that women aren’t allowed to do in Islam.
Except they did write it.
I mark them as hate speech when I see them then block their poster. They are basically the mission version of “hegetsus” garbage. (Which I also mark as hate speech)
This is destroying my fantasy of it being a short story about a non Muslim equestrian falling for a Muslim girl who’s afraid of horses.
I just want YouTube to make an astronomically stupid decision that pushes all their content creators to make their own PeerTube instances…

Ppl are already using services like Patreon.
@Metal_Zealot @AopenYet! If you build it, they will come.
Now I made myself feel bad.
Be the change your want to see in this world.

I just want peoples’ source of income to be less dependant on ad revenue I guess… If everything else were less expensive, and if I knew my favourite content creators were GENIUNELY benefiting from the money I donate, I would be more inclined.
I hate that there’s always some company or middle man between me and who I want to give my money to,

That’s why I use Newpipe and Revanced
Agreed. The entire homepage being half ad and half shorts hurts my eyes. Good thing we have Revanced and such. I just hope Revanced doesn’t go the way of Vanced anytime soon.
Revanced, you say?
LibreTube here
Yep, newpipe and revanced user here as well.
Also turn of the Payback in Feeds option, in my case it added them to my watch history and messed with recommendations. All the sudden my feed was filled with junk like this.
Before: Broadcast Yourself
Now: Ads
Don’t forget youtik youtok.

Is there a decent alternative to Youtube yet? It would make a killing if it had even a little bit better UX
Sadly no. And we’re not gonna see an alternative any time soon. Noone has the server capacity (or 18 years of community building). The only ones who could maybe build something to match their servers would be other similarly shitty companies anyway. Like Microsoft, Amazon or Facebook.
Damn shame.
The only reason youtube still exists with no viable alternative (for the populace) is the sheer amount of content thats uploaded on the platform and creators already being there as well as the difficulty/cost of sustaining a service that stores and serves video. There are so many platforms that do youtube’s job as well if not much better than it but that will never rival it because youtube simply has all the content and content creators.
EDIT: imo odysee and peertube are the best alternatives we currently have but they will sadly never make youtube fear a single bit for their market share
if you’re talking about alternative ui/ux, you could try Piped/Invidious instances. Usually I use piped.kavin.rocks or yewtu.be to visit youtube on desktop browser. It basically youtube without ads and other bloats, also privacy-friendly. Or as other stated, you could try NewPipe or Libretube on smartphone. Keep in mind that all of these alternatives wont provide you google login functionality. These apps only store your search history locally on your device. It takes a bit of time to get used to not get fed by recommendation algorithm and not doing any mindless scrolling
Use Revanced
YouTube home page when you decide to actually pay for content instead of wanting it for free…Here’s YouTube in Firefox with some add-ons. I have no shorts, no ads, and use the Dearrow plugin to replace clickbait thumbnails and titles with crowd-sourced thumbnails and titles. I also can turn my screen off or use other apps, and videos in the background will still play.

No I think I’ll complain all I want when the service was great in the past but got enshittified into oblivion. Good thing revanced is free lol.
enshittified
Beautiful.
If you listen to music a lot, you’re not using youtube to do it.

I’m not? How do you know?
Jesus told me.
Youtube has a frontpage?
Don’t have those plebs problems using NewPipe, LibreTube and Vimusic.
Browse YT via Invidious or Piped and be a happier person
The red X is over the horse, but how do I know the horse isn’t a Muslim woman? Horses could have their own practice and it isn’t reasonable to assume they would do as humans do.
You should better Sprawdź this ad tho 🤣
^revanced
I started watching videos on odysee and the experience is great.
