Same with blue sky. They hit me up with an age check.

Never looked back.

While it may be hard to cold turkey YouTube, at least I could make a start on that reading list...

I've lived on the internet before youtube, I can go back. I've even noticed I've been forcing myself to check out whats on youtube more and more over the past 5 years instead of wanting to check it out. So I kinda feel like I can drop it as a website I visit on its own and only consume it when specific posts link to it (like from lemmy). Next step after that is dropping it completely as video creators naturally move to different hosts.

Every company want to be a platform.. I just them to host videos I can watch embedded on lemmy or some other site.

They ask for login on my always-on VPN so Youtube doesn't exist for me.
