Yeah. They sure did a great job surveying "accurately" every election cycle.

What if I appeal for a patent made by an AI made by myself. Seems fair to me.

Rant: Freenode advertises a specific religion on CTC message of the day, definitely hate that.

It's so hard to find Bangla music/songs, so this was very helpful!

The browse would be good if it wasn't location based

Many people nowadays use client apps and invidious for YouTube.

Just use ublock origin(firefox). If on apple then safari should be good too.

I think client apps can help a lot in all of these cases. Like newpipe for YouTube or infinity for reddit. They clear out tracking as much as possible and let you browse without logging in.

But the website of all these site feels useless and slow to me. Recommendations were good on yt, but I think they stopped it during the election. So, I defaulted to newpipe and freetube.

What service they use have a big implication of if they get captcha'd. Try switchingservices

That's why I have even stopped using google services. If I literally have to get another browser to use your snowflake site, then why would I use your service anyway?

It's easier for me to switch from google to ddg. Then to actually complete a captcha. I don't understand why businesses don't understand this.
