I’ve been on Reddit for over a decade. But I’m done with that site and want to do something else. What do normal people look at on their phones? Is it all social media? Streaming?
If you really want to detox, then put the phone down. Order some magazines, read some books, talk to some people. I did that for 6 months when I was completely overwhelmed and my entire psyche changed. But I eventually craved the interaction, so here I am.
It’s the worst mobile website I’ve ever seen, which is impressive considering Facebook and Reddit have been intentionally breaking their mobile websites for years now.
That actually seems plausible. I never click anything except for a video I’m searching for. I don’t engage on YouTube, and if there’s an unskippable ad, I immediately leave. So I would definitely fall into the “unlikely to click ads” category.
Frodo was the best of them, but he was carrying a great burden, so we saw him during an internal fight for his very soul, not as his usual self. Frodo was chosen to carry the ring because his pure and generous heart was the least influenced by its power, and it still almost consumed him.
I really hate the forced 2fa on shitty little sites that nobody would care to hack. I also really hate that just about every site and service requires you to give them your phone number now, which of course they immediately start spamming, and you have to send a text to a short code, which might have hidden charges associated with it, to opt out. I don’t want anyone having my phone number, but you have to give it if you want service. That VoIP idea you have is great.
And some Twitter embeds with a little X logo in the top right meant to look like a close button, but it’s actually a link to the site. I swear, these internet billionaires have become rich with stupid little “tricks” that shouldn’t fool anyone, but apparently fool most people.
They really had achieved the dream. They made a streaming account affordable and more convenient than pirating, so they had tons of customers, with piracy a long lost pastime for people like me. Then they got greedy like you said, and annoying, and many of us dusted off our sailing gear.

You're tearing me apart! (startrek.website)
Youtube has better anti-adblock now. Other than Invidious, any way around it? Purging and re-dowloading the ublock stuff didn't work
