A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

Shit do I care, lol. Ok, whatever tube ...
a) Linux, Firefox + uBlockOrigin + Enhancer for YouTube;
b) Android, Firefox + uBlock Origin + Video Background Play Fix;
c) I never ever use any account or login into the youtube. Playlists? I got favorites/bookmarks in browser :) Voting, comments? I don't care. Native youtube android apk? Never. So no tracking and stats for you, and no dumb auto recomendations for me. Thanks.
P.S. oh, and all cookies are auto deleted on last tab close. Bye.
So, strike me how? Close whole site or put everything under paywall and die? Hahah.
P.P.S. it's not that I mind paying for content or seeing some ads, but you (tube) had to make those ads intrusive, interupting or overlaying. Yes? Instead of puting some small unanimated, silent banners on top of playlist or under the player, no – you had to piss on UI/UX experience. After, you had to shit-spice it by hidden tracking of all and everything clicked, with no sane way to say - hey nuts, I clicked that accidently, don't show me that bull content, don't recomend it. No I do not want to clean after my self each time someone sends me funy or dumb tube link. I just don't take oart in that anymore. Track yourself, watch your own ads yourself. FQ.
