  • my current guess is: this problem will mostly fix itself

    youtube-ads are ridiculous. I wouldn’t consume these as they are now. If I’m forced to use that site without sponsorblock and adblock, I’m tending to just never watching anything there.

    So if NewPipe/Sponsorblock (and of course NewPipe+Sponsorblock) are gone, then I won’t use that shit anymore and don’t feel any pain.

    Same as with reddit. The last weeks I visited when pointed to reddit by some search enigne, but not out of “I could browse it for fun”. I didn’t miss anything. Twitter? Not even trying to visit that shithole anymore, since most links are unreadable anyways.

    If platforms are closing down, they will lose my interactions. More free time for me!

  • A company that has a long history of products literally catching fire/melting is not a company any reasonable person would call okayish.

    do they though?

    I mean all big companies have such cases - a bit more if they are cheap (and yes, asus mostly does cheap) - but mostly it’s “more products sold equals more fire”.

    Just look at the tons of samsung fires! They even got some of their smartphones completely banned on flights. (btw: I’m not a fan of either)
