I'm trying very, VERY hard to pound the correct knowledge into my brain to be able to switch my freelance business services away from Google to something like Proton Unlimited.

Leaving the Google ecosystem will literally make me lose work, but man, this shit has gotta stop

YouTube might bite me

[–] [email protected] 6 points 4 days ago

Oh they already do as of this week. But I am sure it‘s only temporary like last time and even then it‘s better than being served an ad. Google won‘t win this feud.

Time to pin Odysee and Peertube in my browser even though I pay for YT Premium (only $2 per month here in BD).

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Holy crap that’s cheap! Honestly, I’d pay that.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 days ago

Yeah. Spotify also has similar pricing. I bought YT Premium as it includes both YouTube and YouTube Music.

There will be a solution for the adblocking side, there always is
