I recently discovered some YouTube front-end apps that provide a better interface than the one in the native app. It was thanks to this comment made on another post about YouTube and ad-blockers:

Not sure if you have seen this or not, but if not, do try some of them out.
That's true, and as with any networking platform, whether that be a social media site or a messaging app, who you know and how many of them are on the platform is a strong determining factor in whether you join that platform or not. For now, I just have an account set up on both of those sites, just in case, but I'm not holding my breath for any of my close friends to join anytime soon.
I recently discovered Pixelfed and Friendica on the Fediverse. They are the equivalent to Instagram and Facebook, respectively. Perhaps now would be a good time to migrate over to those platforms?
I think I'm going to stick with my local hospital network and pharmacy. I'm doubtful that my health problems can be solved by a company with a very poor reputation on worker safety and wellness.
One thousand TikToks? How do you retain your sanity from watching that many?
Wow, this is quite tempting! Not only is the display going to be brighter and have better coloring, the refresh rate can go up to 90Hz (as indicated by the Tech Specs).
First with Chrome, now with OneDrive. What exactly are they trying to do with these "explanations" aside from annoying their user base?
Sigh...this is only going to make things even worse!
Actually, I think I'm kinda okay with the "death" of social media. I mean, I'm already on this platform a lot, so...I guess I'm not missing much?
It's gotten to a point where the higher prices and the lack of new content worth watching are getting harder to justify subscriptions to those platforms. A decade ago, I could subscribe to either Hulu or Netflix, and that would be good enough for me. Now, there are so many platforms, and the shows I want to watch are spread across different platforms.
It's just not worth it. I might as well just watch clips of my favorite shows and episodes on YouTube. If one of the streaming platforms does push out something that's worth the monthly fee, then fine, I'll subscribe.
Don't forget about the Firefox forks like LibreWolf!
