<p>Out of all the monthly subscriptions I have, YouTube Premium is by far my favourite. I don’t see an issue with paying for something I use so much everyday.<p>Let’s be real, at this point YouTube is too big to fail. Without Google’s capital it would be impossible to do this at scale. Also I would much rather support Google and independent creators rather than Netflix and the entertainment industry.</p>

<p>I think the developers at T-Mobile are equally pissed off about this.

<p>Not a disease? That's down to semantics and personal opinion. What isn't opinion is the fact that the symptoms of ADHD have been objectively identified on a global scale, in people from very different cultures and social classes.<p>I agree that it isn't beneficial to label a very livable condition with the same word that we use for much harsher illnesses, and it doesn't help that it's not a visible condition. But as somebody with ADHD, it really hurts me to keep seeing this argument repeated ad nausea.<p>Maybe the issue isn't that it is being overdiagnosed, but rather the fact that the only treatment we consider worthwhile is prescribing amphetamines to children.</p>

<p>Of course I would prefer a native app, but I don't think it is unreasonable of me to expect a web app to:<p>- Respect the UI conventions of web browsers and not override standard behavior<p>- Respond immediately to user input<p>- Not take up hundreds of megabytes of RAM<p>I have yet to use a React app that doesn't immediately "feel" like it's using React. There's some weird added latency that I can't really describe, but I don't feel it on Angular apps.</p>

<p>There's no question that it's still highly in demand, but as a user I despise React apps. Not that there's anything wrong with the technology - well-written React with minimal dependencies can provide a great and responsive UX.<p>In practise this rarely is the case. I have yet to use a React app that consistently respects Cmd+click as my intent to open something in a new tab, has sub-100ms draw times for any UI action, and doesn't need to load multiple megabytes of JS to bog down my CPU for basic CRUD stuff.</p>

<p>I would argue that any HTML + CSS framework stack is inherently flawed once you move beyond the most basic of UI components.<p>I have yet to work on a React + Tailwind codebase in the wild where the margin/padding metrics aren't hardcoded and repeated across tens of different components. We've traded the elegance of well-written SCSS for improved developer ergonomics and faster build times because webpack is so slow at compiling stylesheet changes.<p>If you want to practise proper DRY for spacing, typography, etc. in a React app, you'll just end up nesting tons of components that ultimately result in needless complexity.</p>
