      I’m also mostly de-Googled now. I’m not signed in anywhere and don’t use most of the google stuff. It wasn’t really that hard since there are great alternatives. But saying no to YouTube and all the nice channels I’m following is really hard.

        The nice channels, those days are gone. The internet we knew has been destroyed or will be diminished to an annoying shadow pretty soon. If you had to put a % on what is now monitized or stripped for data what would it be?

                If you don’t like YouTube with ads then simply don’t use it. Your life can exist without it.

                You’re on a community chat board, people comment. Do you really have to be so grouchy? At least I am here part of the conversation. If you wanna be angry point it at YouTube/google etc not randoms on the internet. I can be cynical but it’s lesser than other things I could be.

          The primitive technology guy is still going. Wish I could afford the land to try some of the things he does.

      I’ve started getting captcha every time I do a Google search. Not sure what that’s about but it’s made the decision to pursue alternatives easy.
