Its times like there where I'm glad I'm not paying for YouTube. And using an adblocker.

That's definitely what I want when I buy music made by humans: a robot not making music. When will those idiots stop? I'm tired.

I cut YouTube out of my life at the end of July and don't miss it.

I haven't fully cut YouTube out of my life (there's the odd non-dogshit thing on there I'm interested in (e.g. Technology Connections)), but I have cut down on that shit a fair bit.
