My YouTube alternative: still YouTube, but I screw them out of ad revenue with a dedicated account and third party apps

I see what you did there

It’s been a while since I watched a documentary about him, but apparently it was both… Either way, incredibly horrid treatment.

I blame 4chan’s constant harassment of the man for his speech and early death. They invaded his live streams and gaslit him into believing, among other things, that he was in a relationship with someone else. Collectively, I think they’re responsible for his suicide.

What part of my post isn’t something he said

Just keep in mind: your upvotes on Lemmy are visible to anybody who runs a Lemmy instance.

God help us if Elon Musk figures out how to run one.

ETA: I mention this because the current government wants to find anyone who does this.

The [unelected president] moaned on his platform that some Reddit users on the subreddit r/WhitePeopleTwitter had broken the law after they allegedly revealed the identities of his so-called DOGE goon squad.

Is this for human beings, or is it for Google to show their investors to prove that AI is totally going to revolutionize something eventually?

Screw Google either way, I’m not going to use their search engine either way, but this doesn’t feel like a product they are genuinely committed to releasing. Maybe I’m wrong, and in that case, screw them even more.

Cromite on Android checks both those boxes. Ad blocking isn’t great, but the developer isn’t Brave.

Firefox + uBlock Origin might be better if you haven’t tried that specific extension before. It works more than okay for me, but I realize YMMV and that’s especially true for non-flagships

Discord knows everything about its users. Why don’t its users get to know about the future of their app

The hardest part of using Matrix is basically everything about Matrix. They’re an unholy combination of Slack, Discord, and Signal… And not very good at any of those things

reply to the wrong post?

Eich is out of touch with reality and so are you

It definitely sounds a tad dehumanizing, and I’m not sure if that’s intentional or not…

I think this is just a CEO likening personal opinions to racial oppression. The example he chose might be a little ironic too.

Ungoogled Chromium does a really good job of taking Google out of Chrome, so far less skeezy. None of that cryptocurrency stuff either.

You can probably bribe a tech-savvy friend to do it for you with a fraction of YouTube’s yearly cost

With YouTube Lite, customers will be able to watch videos across verticals like gaming, fashion, beauty, cooking, news, and more, ad-free

Oh wow. They’ll remove some, but not all, ads!

[T]he new tier won’t offer several benefits in the full YouTube Premium ($13.99 per month) subscription, like downloads, background play, or the ability to watch music videos ad-free.

Price-gating downloads seems pretty evil. The feature doesn’t cost Google any extra money. It could even save them a little server strain if a user wants to watch the same video repeatedly. But clearly, this is where Google’s surveillance pays off: they know what people want, and they know to demand an extra $6/month for it.

For a native English speaker who understands everything he wrote: you’re 100% correct. It is a core dump.
