Same; I've been trying to disengage from anything big tech related recently, not just social media, even Amazon etc. Can't take it anymore. It's all so blatantly exploitative and fucked up. Cancelling subscriptions feels good; hope I stick to it. Can't shake YouTube yet though, need my Rossmann fix. Hopefully we can figure out a viable FOSS alternative; tried PeerTube but it doesn't quite do it just yet.
The Internet can still be a beautiful positive thing.
BezoSpez Zuck-Musk can fuck off.
Have you tried invidious as YouTube alternative?
Thanks very much for recommending this! Tried it and am quite happy. Also just tried NewPipe on my phone and it works really well. Bye bye YouTube
For Browser there are actually two YouTube Frontends: piped and invidious
Oh yes I’ve still not been able to get out of YouTube. :(
Got out of pretty much every other social media platform!
