    You know, RSS exists to literally circumvent this problem, albeit for articles. A lot of sites still have it, people just forgot that this is a thing. Little bit of a chore to setup, but its actually pretty nice. Obviously finding these sites is the hard part, but a good search engine (kagi btw) could make it work.

    Also PeerTube exists as well, which reduces the cost of hosting videos.

    Absolutely agree with the youtube subscription part. I am not giving them money if i can.

    So what do I do? Patreon. I watch ad free, and i give 1 dollar a month instead on patreon. Win-win.

    P.S. However, this way only a select few get money from me, but it is what it is.





  • Its crazy how polarizing the Linux experience can be. Was it a desktop or laptop? For me it was just a few clicks (Manjaro then Endeavour) on the first try and be done with it on my desktop PC. Also with dual booting.

    Hopefully next time you will have more luck! “Sadly” I cannot go back to windows now, I got Linux-pilled. Linux just treats my right without any Microsoft ads.


  • Yeah its so freaking sad. It could be such an awesome platform (in some sense it already is) but of course Google has to put their greedy little fingers on it.

    The worst part is that it has tons of literal bloatware. I tried ArrowOS without GApps on a Xiaomi Redmi Note 4, and it was fast while sparing the battery! It had the original battery and I couldnt believe that it could last 2 days easily with light usage.

    Then I tried PixysOS and damn, 3GB of RAM was barely enough.
