    I was kinda worried with the LTT drama unfolding since DankPods does use Floatplane as a source of income. While Floatplane and LMG are technically separate, because it spun off of LTT people might not see it as such.

    And yeah, I notice I watch YouTube a lot less now, ever since they stopped allowing people whose history was turned off to get recommendations on the front page. Maybe that’s for the better. I still have a watch later backlog I should export to a text file or something.

      By that same logic, you should worry about the creators on YT when advocating actions harmful to YT.

      Speaking for myself, I disagree.

      YT is bad, and so is LTT, and by extension, Floatplane.

      After LTT unambiguously showed their true colors, and doubled down, I unsubscribed and removed all of trace of their ecosystem from my digital habits.

      YT is a bit harder to do that with, so I use alternative methods to extract the value/uses from their service. It works for me.
