First mistake is referring to an oligarchy as democracy. But don’t tell that to a Brit, they are very proud of the monarchy and the historically rooted oligarchy.

Now let’s look at Who those 10% of world population are:

Right! mostly Americans and our rich westener friends. propably contributing 100 times more than a fella from Zimbabwe does.

No not the author. When I checked I found an issues was already submitted but the project maintainers already restricted it.

I know they are doing their best to keep up with yt shenanigans. but they sometimes make decisions that hurt the user experience. like removing the reload option from the video page. its incomprehensible why the removed a feature that probably didn’t interfere with the rest of the software performance

ublock origin only blocks ads.

But if you want a bit of privacy it can’t stop youtube from collecting your data and keeping you in a feedloop bubble.

With these types of clients yt can’t track you. and everytime i reload the app it’s like I am new user to them they don’t have all my browsing history. plus you can subscribe to channel without logging into yoututbe

didn’t know they made a desktop version. will try out thanks!

They removed Ctrl*r from video pages since around April

Yes. by clicking ‘r’ you were able to reload the video page. but it was remove around April, and it only works on the search page.

They cited something unconvincing I don’t remember why exactly but they are blocking all discussions about it since.

Will try that, thanks!

I wouldn’t have thought of that but it is too cumbersome of a workaround, and running and android vm makes my laptop run hot

I am stating facts. which I assume you guys don’t care about.

Russia is exploiting the poorest of the poor with information warfare and false promises.

for a bit of nuance: the majority of latin america mercernaries work for the Ukranian Foreign Legion. and their salaries is a less than half of what Russia pays it mercernaries. so both are exploiting the poorest of the poor. and Ukraine is doind it for cheaper.

An important chunk of the LATAM mercenaries working for ukraine are actual criminals and ex gang members who have been approached by semi-official gov agencies and foreign spy corps to fight for Ukraine in exchange for reduced sentences and clearance of their criminal records. and in some cases like in Columbia and Mexico, their have been arrangements with local social security services to facilitate the process of receiving insurance money if they die fighting for Ukraine.
