Oh youtube was great. It went downhill super fast when people made money on youtube.

That’s why I watch YouTube with NewPipe on my phone and Firefox + uBlock origin on my laptop.
Btw NewPipe recently got an update that fixed all bugs I’ve ever noticed

Thank you SO MUCH for mentioning NewPipe, I’d never heard of it and I’ve been dying for an app like that.
Appreciate ya 💜

Tubular is a fork of Newpipe that adds sponsorblock which is really nice.

Yup. What YouTube doesn’t understand is that we’ve got** other stuff to do.** I’ve got books to read, games to play, music to listen to. None of which requires YouTube.

I’ve found myself repatronizing half priced books lately. I’ve gone through five books since mid May.
I was a voracious reader before mobile devices existed.
I’d forgotten just how much more satisfying it is to let yourself go in a good story rather than bicker about minutiae with countless strangers all day every day.
(Sidenote: I’ve been looking up reviews for the books I’ve read and am surprised to find indignation at sexual scenes in novels. Like, if you’ve ever read a John Irving novel in your life, and you’re surprised and offended that the next one has sex in it, you should maybe reconsider your chosen career path)

When Vanced went down, and before ReVanced came out, I had stopped using YT. The ads are unbearable.
So I know what I’d do.
