I’ve been a YT user for years Starting to really irritate me all the pointless metrics on there - likes - views - comments - subscribers None of it shows you “value” There could be thousands of views, likes, and comments, and they’re all pointless to me as a user Channels “monetise” these metrics, and advertisers pay, but do they get “value”? Who knows All I know is the gamification of it makes me unhappy The “look how many views that got” game There must be a better way of providing video content online… My bet is someone on Nostr is already building it The user in mind, at the centre I look forward to it 🙏🏻

Switched to NewPipe after getting a phone with @GrapheneOS , and so much better experience. Can close the screen and still listen, no ads, no sign in, etc. 😉😁

I understand from a business perspective why they no longer show downvotes, but I miss those data.
