I used to use NewPipe back in the days of yore. Then I got Youtube Premium since it bundled in Youtube Music as well which I used. But the former’s app on mobile is a shit show. Even after paying, you are asked to tip random creators, purchase merchandise[ which are shown as actual ads below videos] and join channels to access...
Why not browse your subscriptions through subscriptions section? I understand that it’s annoying that you can’t make it default on startup in the app but it’s there.
Microsoft thinks that their own games barely need advertising or hype because they’re available on Game Pass anyway. They’re forgetting that those ads would be Xbox ads too. And so the death spiral continues.

Disproving them won’t even change antivaxer minds but it’s more about not being caught off-guard by bullshit. Education won’t fix it either. Those magical thinking movements are built on ruling elites being being proven untrustworthy time and time again.
