 nothing we can do about, as someone who’s only internet experience (age/generation wise) has been the conglomerate of centralized private companies, it’s very hard to not use them when they seemingly have a monopoly on the decades archive of content stores on youtube. i like my john butler meditation videos on youtube, im unable to use nostr sadly, even though i’d love that. 

we can kick, scream, at reality, but until there’s a definite way to bypass the hell of google, i fear, we are going to (have to) use it anyways 
 oh the absolute typo hell of this note, so sorry. 
 We have to use it? I am not using it. 

Know, that this is your mental cage, your John butler meditation should free you from. 
 did you know not using yotube actually doesn’t make you better than others 🥰 
 I'm glad there are frontends like invidious at least. Can't wait for devs to make a good decentralized alternative
