    Oh no, I will have to do something useful with my time instead of watching 100 viral and algorithmically selected videos designed to enrage me – one after each other. WHAT WILL I DO

      Not all of us watch bullshit and drama on YouTube. There is good science and engineering content on there.

        If you’re primarily interested in the science and engineering content, nebula is a wonderful platform where membership fees directly support content creators.

      one way to look at it is a blessing in disguise. instead of dissociating with YT, now you have all this time to figure out who you actually are and then become that thing. i imagine it’s more rewarding than passively watching YT.
