Great, I'll use it less if that's the case 🤷

That’s not a bad outcome for them

If everybody with adblockers quit youtube and used alternative platforms, I agree, that would be great.

I moved over to new pipe. No more algorithm on regular basis. I have the 20 or so people that I want to see. If one of my existing 20 people recommend somebody else, I'll go check them out.

Between getting rid of reddit algorithm and YouTube's algorithm I'm clawing back huge swaths of time.
