21.11.2024 You may or may not have noticed that the media underground YouTube channel has been erased. This was something that was needing to happen for a long time having virtually deGoogled my entire life. Don't get me wrong there's still a few Google things I have still to get rid of, but for the most part my Android phone has been deGoogled along with my use of their shitty search engine and intrusive email service (well, other than using it as a kind of junkmail capturer). Basically, it's what I use when I need to sign up to something that requires me to enter an email address and that I don't give a shit about. YouTube has become fucking horrible and boring anyway. All these clickbaity thumbnails of twats doing something or other really boils my piss (superficial pricks chasing the algorithm). The final straw for me was when I accidentally logged in to YouTube without using an ad-blocker. To my surprise I discovered that they were advertising on my channel despite me having set up the channel specifically not to include any advertising content. As you may be aware, here at media underground we don't do, and have never done, advertising. That's not to say that I still don't occasionally go on YouTube to sift through the endless mounds of garbage in order to find out something practical, but when I do I use either SmartTube on my TV or FreeTube on my phone and computer (which filters out all the ads). Sadly, however, these apps won't filter out all the shit which makes up 99% of the content on YouTube. |
