      I followed you in 2019 and did the same thing. So it would not affect me very much either.

        I followed in 2021. What remains is that I use YouTube quite a lot (even though it’s through piped or yt-dlp).

            RSS subscribing directly to YT channels through a self-hosted RSS aggregator to sync views, open in on-device front-end. Very practical.

              This is exactly what I do. I subscribe to the YouTube channels via RSS in my local RSS reader and have it set to display notifications so that I still see video updates and then use newpipe to open them.

    You receive a message notification on WhatsApp, which was sent by your friend using her Signal messaging app

    yeah Signal has already said they don’t have plans to do that.

    The year is 2030, and you are on your way to meet a friend for a meal.

    I don’t eat out

    You receive a message notification on WhatsApp

    I don’t use any of DARPA Lifelog Facebook Meta disservices.

    which was sent by your friend using her Signal messaging app

    I don’t have friends. And DEFINITELY not girls. (I use Arch btw)

    You choose an app because you like the way it looks

    I think I just vomited a little bit in my mouth

    You look at reviews produced by people you follow

    I don’t “follow” people and never will.
