    YouTube isn’t nearly as much as the other two, there’s an arms race starting with ad blockers, but Reddit and Twitter are on a whole other level of nastyness.

        Not really. PeerTube is a federated video platform, but there’s very little content since there’s no incentive for creators to switch.

    Revanced manager has the ability to patch twitter, YouTube, twitch, spotify and tiktok APIs. Never see an ad at all these days.

    I remember the first time someone sent me a YouTube link. Opened up AOL Messenger and a buddy from school asked me if I had heard panic at the disco. Sent over a link with I write sins not tragedies Found Smosh right after. Early YouTube was great

      Trying to lock you out, if you didn’t pay for premium and using an Adblocker instead.

    To be fair, having Musk at the helm of one of those should be considered cheating at bullshit bingo. I don’t think there’s a single week without Musk not doing anything completely idiotic that further sinks the company. Firing programmers by line of code? Answering mails from the press with a poop emoji? Not paying rent for the offices? Twitter blue and its… I don’t even know what’s that anymore? And the list goes on and on and on.
