What’s the traffic on invidious? Like, while I don’t necessarily agree with the ad-block-block, the profit motive makes sense given their ubiquity. But are there really enough users of alternate YouTube frontends that Google is capturing any meaningful profit? Especially when developer hours are expensive and could be used elsewhere on more valuable projects?

BBB is a scam

What do you recommend? Genuine question. I tried hosting my own email and eventually its just… It’s too much. Like everything rejects you out of hand because your email servers aren’t known. I could do more research and maybe figure that hurdle out but there does end up being an upper bar of effort.

I tried proton mail, but it’s not great. How is Yahoo or other large email providers?

Do you? Genuinely, not trying to snark. I see this point lots, but Im skeptical that people actually do.

As a dev, I read plenty of commits, and the idea of voluntarily prodding through commits on a FOSS project is just not happening. I’d rather just trust the dev, and the community to pick through the code in my place. The obvious issue being, what if everyone also does that.

Yikes

Yooooo that’s actually awesome. If they hit Apple next that’d get even better.

The play store has some weird security items attached to it that blocks your bank or even some games if your phone is rooted. I’d love if Google was forced to drop stuff like that to retain users.

I wonder how easy it would be to make an extension and fake it’s popularity? Make make it intentionally broken or something, so users immediately uninstall it too.

Sounds like an easy $10k, assuming the scammers would actually pay.
