I used the time delayed PDS and mine seem to still be gone…

Ya, let’s keep shortening everyone’s attention span… Hate all short form videos!

I know this is not relevant to the story, but check out brave browser with some built in blocking. The article looked fine for me. (Just fyi). I use it on mobile and desktop.

Oh, wow that long… Guess I didn’t wait long enough to be sure. However 2 days in and I don’t see comments that I saved a permalink to. (I did delete my account yesterday)

How long did it take for comments to come back?

It’s definitely not ideal, but since YT has become my primary video media content, and it’s also my music streaming services. The cost has value for my family.

I am technical enough to get things like revanced installed, or others. Even for our set top boxes.

The amount of energy truly prevent tracking is endless. For me premium does pay the content creators more for my views and I don’t see/hear any platform ads.

It’s not ideal, but every other streaming service you sign into is profiling you too.

Inside my house/Network I do run pihole, and I use brave browser and it’s shield, as well as unlock origin.

Ideal? No, I’d rather everything be free but that’s not reality

What percentage of yt creators are over there? I pay for premium, but yt is literally my primary video media consumption so I get value out of it. I also use yt music as my streaming service.
