I just have to port over some guides I did in the past to iFixit, and then I’ll pull the trigger on reddit. <

Thanks for making my decision easier.

I find this to be the case to absolutely every app, free versions being filled with adds, selling your data, trying to fry you with more and more dopamine intensive content. And then the paid version, which usually is overpriced, happens to be worse than a modified client of the same app but free.

Youtube for example, doesn’t allow you to download content in 1080, 1440 or 4k, 720 is the limit, for a paid subscription. Then you try revanced and oh wow, you can download 4k content for free, how cool is that?

And usually changing the interface to make it more addictive, forcing shorts on Youtube, reels on Instagram, making the base app worse so people go for the paid version, is why people end up with moddified clients/applications, yet the companies are obviously going to blame us, “pirates oh very bad, they steal content and avoid ads, why would they do such crime”,

Instead of wondering why their app is 4 times heavier than a couple years back, has 8x the useless crap built-in, and is priced 2x than a year ago. At least this crap has taught me to value actual well built apps by great people, in many cases, out of passion.

Props to Freetube, my greatest discovery last year, I can’t even express how much I missed using a useful interface for youtube, instead of what we have now…

Well that’s it, no-one should feel bad for using alternative apps when the actual company is the one to push users out of their apps with shitty updates and anti-consumer practices.

Discord:

  • Takes down accounts for mass reporting without checking the issue.
  • Takes down accounts for sharing slightly copyrighted content.
  • Takes down accounts for using alternative discord clients.
  • Doesn’t take down accounts related to coordinated spam attacks to another platform.

Discord being discord I guess, but it’s weird, I’ve seen them take down servers and accounts for all sorts of light issues, but not for this?

Yeah, on pc yt-dlp is absolutely the best option, If I remember right, there’s even a way of downloading the high bitrate versions of videos spoofing iOS or whatever, but maybe this was using a fork of it

And on android, I used to rock youtube mate

And that’s the right way to approach it, but in a platform were niche communities are so empty, even a meaningless comment counts

But yeah, I try to follow the same approach, I’m interested in many things, and subscribed to a lot of communities, but why should I comment if it doesn’t help or adds anything to the theme of the post

Well, If anyone reads this, keep this as a good habit, even if it feels a bit weird in here, comment when you are of help, and learn from others when you have nothing to say

Edit: I love how the replies to this are doing the exact opposite lol, take care boys, I actually got a good laugh from this

Download stremio, install the “torrentio” addon, and you’re good to go, search a movie and play it, it keeps track of half watched movies and series, has subtitles integration with opensubtitles, and supports tv android pc etc

If you have the money, pay for real debrid and you’ll get better reliability
