  1. YouTube boycott update: still going. My internet keeps popping in and out, usually requiring a router reboot. But I'm not missing YouTube either way. I'm bored, yes - but YouTube is just another way to be bored, and I don't need it.

    I think I'm working towards some sort of change in my life. Not sure where it's taking me, but at least it will be *somewhere*.

    Hey, what's the story with Beige.party? I've seen posts from some users, and some references, but I don't know much about it.

  2. Well, this was the third day of my unplanned YouTube boycott. I didn't use YouTube at all, not even YouTube Music.

    My son *did* use YouTube on the big TV while we were having dinner, and I even watched - but I didn't log into my own YouTube account, and when I was done with dinner I went back upstairs.

    I think my next project is to document all of my YTM playlists and download any songs I'm missing.

    It wasn't until I started boycotting YouTube that I started to realize how many posts here on Mastodon include YouTube videos. I didn't click on any of them. I favorited a few where I thought the text was good, but I didn't boost any of them as I thought that would seem hypocritical of me.

    Does that sound pompous? Probably. Oh well.

    I didn't post as much today as on the last few days; sorry about that! I'll try to think of things tonight that I can write and post tomorrow. Maybe some lost media of one sort or another.

    Good night!

  3. I'm in bed and I made it through the entire day without once using YouTube. It's a small victory, but I'll take it.

    Good night!

  4. I'm seething.

    I'm trying to find a song on YouTube - a perfectly ordinary song. I can find it, no problem. But Google/YouTube INSISTS on forcing a "radio" link on me. So what I get is the song I wanted, PLUS INFINITE ADDITIONAL MUSIC THAT I *DON'T* WANT!

    I want Google dead.

  5. Well, it looks like this whole channel was nuked by YouTube. Here's the recovered video so we can all bask in its gloriousness.

  9. I used to use the hashtag #LemmySucks but I #overlooked that it's #FLOSS #OpenSource etc.

    Now if I use #YouTubeSucks and I'm the only one using that...I'll #facepalm so hard that I'll feel really really sorry for the #fediverse at large.

    I'd probably feel we are #doomed but #HopeDiesLast.

    In case this hasn't happened to you on #YouTube, *sometimes* YT accepts, but then silently deletes,😡 comments w/ URLs - like Wikipedia refs. Write, post helpful comment w/link. Try to edit, or refresh page and it's gone! ☹️☮️👎#YouTubeSucks #IHateYouTube
    Hence, I seldom try to share WP links on *unfamiliar* channels. Unclear if URL-kill is a default setting, an optional setting by overzealous channel mods trying to avoid spam / trolls and/or YouTube algorithm(s)☹️ #EverythingIsStupid
