Google already changed logged out YouTube to a single row of recommendations and a button to login on roku and Android shield when it used to look like the logged in version just a couple weeks ago. Probably the kick I needed to get off, mostly just using it for a couple smaller call-in/debate streamers I can switch to a podcast or other version.

I got this update on my smart TV, and I don't think Google realizes how much of an improvement it is. It's unintentionally the best thing the app has ever done.

Finally, no more fucking clickbait clutter all over the screen. I already just search for the channels I want to watch anyway. I love it.

No one needs the internet outside of work. The moment I'm forced to show my ID or get my face scanned, I'm done for good.

Yes, the EU with their draconian and dystopian plans just go over our heads and do it.
All quiet and sneaky, no articles in the sold out press, only small specific outlets or sites that investigate privacy or tech.

There we go again. The internet is already broken.
