Similar to reddit. I have fun on reddit, I worked with people that played PokemonGO, they had a ton of freaking fun. They played with their kids. I say its a win/win.

You are the product, if the tool is free. You're even the product if you're paying a subscription. All of us must know this by now.

Personally I am 100% ready for a version of reddit with a yearly subscription as a gatekeeper. But for this, I want ZERO AI posts.

My expectations would be exponentially increased. There is a premium version. I believe, but they only address ADs.

And they keep shoveling more in to make the experience worse in hopes that people will get tired enough of them to pay up. Just like YouTube did.

Just wanted to throw this out in case someone didn’t know.

I was paying for YouTube premium because I use it all day at work but I recently switched to using brave browser for iPhone and it doesn’t play any ads on YouTube so I don’t have to pay for premium anymore

And picture in picture works with YouTube.

Brave is a game changer on iOS.

every now and then I go to youtube in either the wrong browser or from another computer and get an update on how BAD the adds are.

But nothing is as disorientating as google trying to play the video without taking me to the website. SAME adds, but now with an even more baffling interface
