  • Dunno if you have iOS or Android, but on Android you can also just use Newpipe :)

  • That's enough for most people I guess

  • On your watch-time? I mean then it's cool, cause you don't even have to do anything. On the other hand I would probably have to log out to watch content I don't want to support financially.

  • Haha fair, I mean it's cool that people pay for it. I was just curious what the reasons were, because I never thought about it.

  • Thanks for the info. I played around with my parents old TV and managed to get it adfree with blockada and another YouTube app. But it's definitely a pain to set up and many people probably prefer the official app.

  • Ah ok, certainly makes sense for ur usecase. I didn't meet anyone who was YouTube music yet. Does it have high quality audio or is it just YouTube quality?

  • I didn't know the channels get some of the revenue. Do you get to influence who the money goes to? Like a twitch prime sub?

  • Imo it should be a choice whether we are tracked for monetary gains or not, and not a necessary evil. But with most basic services/devices you are not even presented with that choice. E.g. when buying a phone.

    And if you do have a choice, sometimes accessibility is restricted so much that you can't participate in our networked society.

    I think we have to find ways to provide access to the most basic services with a minimum of tracking. Anything else should still be an option of course.

    How to achieve this? I don't know. But EU regulations certainly wouldn't hurt for now.

  • True but they will learn the concept 'inefficency increases individual profits'. Google has been getting worse and so will AI search eventually.

  • I just use it for ordering stuff and for registering to newsletters. It's fine, but yeah sometimes you want to find older emails and it's a pain in the ass to do that, because of the search function.

  • People don't understand sometimes how much of a tech-ethusiast bubble we got going on here

  • Really? A virus on ebooks? Damn

  • Archive.is works, there's even a Firefox addon for it

  • Let me introduce you to 'open relationships'

  • Let's not call Russia communist either lol. People who think that communism is still a threat in '23 are stuck in their cold war dystopianism.
