WTF Yea! Now with YouTube no one can track you, or program your algorithm, or influence your content at all… Plus the nonstop ads…

You really got em!

The content on it is still made to appease The Algorithm, no matter how you watch it

Depends on the channels you watch, tbh

And books are written to make money. Doesn't mean I still don't enjoy reading them.

And smart tube can bypass the ads and stuff… point is OP claimed YouTube as it is can be a cure…

It’s a red flag for ignorance.

You are not considering freewill. Let the algorithm feed you whatever it serves, you don't have to bite.

“For once I’m glad I watch YouTube….”

Free will seems lost on you… Did you consider any sense of personal RESPONSIBILITY?

Damn! You nailed it. I was only typing what someone else told me to type. How did you know? If only you could provide more morally and ethically prudent advice to the rest of us then I think we could collectively usher in a new age of peace and mutual respect.
