Started out as a Reddit alternative during the blackout from Jun 12-21, 2023 with over 1k members in just a few days. Fizzled faster than the "I Didn't Do It" kid after a month until it became the internet's Centralia in less than a year.

I was a Vanced/SmartTube user for a long time, but when Google started cracking down on them, the family decided to pool our money together and just get YT Premium. One thing I'm going to miss is the automatic skipping of sponsors. As much as I'm sorry to admit that, Linus.
That's one way to resolve things, buying YT Premium and being left at peace. While I respect that, part of me thinks that it is giving in to the pressure, that what Google wants is for people to give in. Thus, even if I do have the money for it, I don't think I would as a matter of principle.
What that principle is, I guess at this point, Iโ'd admit that I am just pretty much against what Google symbolizes--big tech swallowing up everything. And by refusing to give in and buying YT Premium, I feel like I am resisting and protecting whatever few principles I've got left.
It helps that I'm not paying. Nakisakay lang ako since you can have up to 4 profiles. ๐
HAHAHAHA! I can feel ya. Tho hindi ko pa rin talaga kaya. Inofferan na ako ng kapatid ko ng ganyan, kaming magkakapatid tapos yung parents ko. Umayaw ako. My mom is too tech illiterate naman to make use of it. Nothing came out of it in the end. (Methinks my brother just used the accounts for himself and his wife.)
