Man, love all the options 🤣 I assumed there would be one or two, but it seems we have tons of options. Thanks for the great info!

As someone who is flirting with the idea of attempting to own my media, I have a question for you. If I couldn’t find a torrent for some song I wanted, is there a recommended tool or path for “collecting” my own version of a song? I don’t see myself getting into such a situation where I want some super obscure song, but knowing I have a path for getting a version from one of the major streaming services to bridge any gap I come across would be nice. Where would one go to learn how to safely collect rare/difficult to torrent music files?

I’ll commit to commenting more. I prefer to lurk, but the fediverse needs me 🤣

I advocate for a fork of uBlock: adnauseam. It’s a bit financially adversarial which I deeply enjoy, at the cost of using a bit of data. In theory if it built up enough users, advertisers would stop buying clickable ads all together.

This is probably just user-agent sniffing, right? I’d say swap it out to one that claims you’re on windows and see if that fixes it. Good luck :)

I’ll echo that I have felt an algorithm change. I watch a lot of leather crafting videos and a lot of Adam Savage videos. In the past week I’ve been getting Adam Savage working on leather videos and I’ve been thrilled to discover these. As someone who’s been watching both Adam Savage and leather crafting videos for months or maybe years, I should have already seen these, but somehow missed these until this past week. Now YouTube shows me video after video of Adam Savage working on leather, which I love.
