I might challenge that. If a political organization achieves its stated goals I don't think they dust their hands off & find new jobs.

It's happened before that a group of people with a set of goals achieve those goals but continue to "push" out of habit, financial incentives, or a desire to solidify those goals more permanently. This can eventually lead to a bastardization of the original goals.

From a practical perspective this could create "infinite progressivism".

Sorry you're getting down voted & "dunked on" so much in this post. Your question was asked in good faith. It doesn't deserve all of this negativity.

I'll go on record as thanking you for asking! It's a fair question!

I only ever use Tubular which, as you say, works fine.

Are you running a VPN? Or a DNS adblock? Maybe the official YouTube app can tell you're doing that (or not running some background Google service) & is trying to punish you?

One other thought: could it be related to hardware acceleration? Is there a setting somewhere where you can turn on/off access to hardware acceleration for certain apps? If so, maybe the official YouTube app had it turned off?

Well, here's a list. If you write a script please share it, but it looks like quite an endeavor...

I love the idea! $8.99 per month is a bit steep...

EDIT: Thinking more about the price, Mozilla is mostly funded by Google but this is a blatantly anti-advertising/anti-Google move. Mozilla must be trying to establish a new revenue stream to get themselves independent of Google. It's a balls-y move!

If I'm correct in that thinking it does help justify the cost and put it in context.

What is "SoMe"?

I really like 1440 news which is a news aggregation/curation service. They try to be politically unbiased, and they send you an email each morning with the news from yesterday (sort of like a print newspaper).

I also read allsides.com sometimes, which is another unbiased aggregator service.

A smartphone's virtual keyboard would be worse (smaller) than the Kindle's, wouldn't it? Maybe I should try it though. I mean, I'm pecking this message on my smartphone's virtual keyboard so...

That's not a bad idea. I keep a Linux machine in the living room attached to the TV with a wireless keyboard, so I'm already set up!

I didn't get a message like this, and I'm a Proton person. I'd be wary of phishing too.
