hi there, it's shuu again
i have went through your website a some more and read some of your work (which by the way is very entertaining, kudos!). i have seen you mention in your "Digital minimalism, degoogling and such" post that you would like to watch youtube through a client, and since that post is fairly older id like to first ask you how that's going, and recommend you some routes that you might fancy (if you dont already know about them
). i personally use SmartTube on my android TV and i think it works on any android device, i used to use Invidious on my ios ipad as well. i would also like to share the Free Media Heck Yeah domain in case you dont know about it: specifically this bit: that includes some resources for youtube clients free of ads and invasive algorithms
have a good day again

thanks! I've actually found at least one good youtube client for desktop (FreeTube), which works...variably. But thanks for the other recommendations, I'll have to keep them in mind. I'm familiar with FMHY, there's definitely some interesting stuff there.
I've actually reached some of my "goals" mentioned in the digital minimalism post. I got rid of music streaming, in favour of CDs (i've become a frequent visitor at the cd shelves of thrift stores...) and digital downloads (bandcamp and other ways). AND I sort of don't use instagram anymore as the browser-based browsing started to have unexpected problems. So, yay
