"The day Ad Block no longer works.... I will no longer using youtube" - I noticed that some people treat this comment as a joke, or whatever but ...
I personally will give up on youtube if this happens. I really plan detox.

Do we have alternative?
Yes, in form of BLOGS!

Here on mastodon, there's a lot of great people that have value too, and many have personal blogs - i think they are worth of attention.

Because businesses, tech companies overload web with garbage ... what we need is to build a "space" without that crap.

A small little space in web, like BSD Cafe.

I learned how to live without facebook, i never touched things like tiktok etc. . .

I'm ready to ditch my google account. The last piece... is to just buy a new phone, install alternative OS on mobile and at this point i will be done with google.

People need to build their own spaces and services.

It's important to teach people reaching this kind of independence.

To have better web, we need to start small and built it by yourself ... it's sad but true.

What big tech companies do is out of control anyway.

So far, Freetube remains unaffected.
