Same here, been using YT Premium via Argentina for 2 years or so by now. It's nice, cause the few bucks you pay for that are fine, considering you get all videos ad-free and even YT music which isn't great but a nice bonus! just a shame you by now need a Mastercard for it cause Visas have to be from Argentina, as I've heard.

Is it hard to give up your niche reddit communities? I may have a solution. Kind of. in c/technology@beehaw.org

Never thought of that hahaha. Especially the no-ads-thing is fascinating to me. Seeing all the info you need in one place, that’s pure luxury hahaha

Thank you for explaining. Now I get it. I am new to RSS readers, but I love having all the info in one place so this has gotta be a really good solution!

I was wondering, about your suggestion (and please, keep in mind I am not that intelligent when it comes to technology): when I access all the posts via my RSS reader, doesn't this still count as some kind of "visit" to Reddit's site? Shouldn't we just try to stay away from it as long and as good as possible?
