Google admits it's making YouTube worse for ad block users
(www.theregister.com)
This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
Why can't people just stop using google? Genuinely curious
Because most alternatives aren't nearly as functional due to them dominating the market.
Yes alternate platforms with good level of UX exists. But without content its no good. YouTube - Peertube Google maps - Organic maps & OSMAnd (open street maps) Reddit - Lemmy (bigger is better)
Google Maps actually sucks for things like hiking and trails, there's a lot of better alternatives like Maps.me.
