I spent far longer than I care to admit pressing the stupid YouTube play icon waiting for a video to start.

It's even worse than the reddit fuckery. I'd rather stop using youtube than seeing ads (haven't seen an ad for more than 5 years and it would feel very obtrusive to start seeing five in a row now)

What did youtube do? I'm on Revanced and is working great.

I think they cracked down on addblockers, but there may be more to it

I've had YouTube Premium for years and for the amount of YT I watch, mostly on my AppleTV where ad blockers aren't an option anyway, it's worth it.

I stopped using Twitter years ago, and hopefully the recent changes that prevent non-logged in users seeing the tweets and the stupid API limits, mean far fewer twitter links posted to social media and the site just dies naturally.

As for Reddit, I'll still use old Reddit on desktop, but my mobile use has dropped to negligible levels. I'll only occasionally open Dystopia to check on a small number of subs.
