Silliest comment of the week

People do nothing but incessantly complain about thing- yet still use thing.

Go ahead and show the alternative, the alternative that has the content we need.

Before you respond that youtube is an entertainment service, I want to remind you that it isn't, but that it's only a part of it. You won't handwave it away as if we were discussing netflix being enshittified.

I'm not using youtube for listening to music videos and such things, never were. When I end up there it's because of a search result showing a relevrelevant video there, like disassembly of this or that, and such.

News flash folks; You’re never going to win this. YouTube will always be ahead of you on this.

That's objectively false. uBlock Origin devs and filterlist makers are doing a very good job.

Don’t like it, walk away.

That's very similar to saying "don't like your government? don't like it, walk away, found your own".
Yeah, that's not his it works.

I bet you would be the first to call those who abandoned youtube as cavemen for not being able to access some video you shared

I don’t care if there’s an alternative. You’re not obligated to watch YouTube. It’s not a job.

You can walk away.
