It was going to happen eventually. It sucks since so much good content is still housed on youtube. The bright side is that I'll probably read more when uBlock stops working so well.

I'm in the same boat here. My digital addictions are literally solved by the platforms itself

Yup, YouTube is my crack. This could be a good thing.
