    That depends on how many people are in the family and how many people are paying their fair share. Odds are that the children won’t pay because, well, they’re children. Teenagers might pay their way depending on if they have a job or not. And many households only have one primary source of income (with maybe a side job providing just a little extra). Which means most people would probably be footing the bill themselves for the whole family.

    For TV, assuming you have an Android TV, you can use SmartTube.

    For mobile, use ReVanced. It’ll ask you to provide an APK of a specific version of the YouTube app, which you can download from here.

    For PC, use Firefox and the uBlock Origin adblocker. I know you said you don’t use Chrome, but I’ll explain why people are saying not to use it specifically with uBlock Origin: Basically, with Chrome’s update to Manifest v3, that’ll greatly impact uBlock Origin and its ability to do its job.

    All three options above also include the ability to enable/ install something called SponsorBlock. SponsorBlock uses community submissions to (based on the user’s preference) either skip or give the option to skip portions of a video such as sponsorship segments or “like and subscribe” segments among other things.

    Based on the description, it looks like it’s designed to be able to block or allow 3rd party stuff on webpages. For example, it looks like, if you wanted to, you could block Twitter embeds from loading in a given news article. I imagine it can also block hidden 3rd party stuff, too, the kind that you only notice if you look at the network tab in the browser’s console.


  • Unfortunately, nobody’s gonna switch just because one person left unless it’s a big influencer (which I am not). It’d take multiple people collectively leaving, and that’s not gonna happen without something big. Fortunately, Twitter’s current owner is, well… he’ll likely cause that “something big” all on his own. Like how Reddit’s API thing caused Lemmy to grow in size overnight.

    When it does happen, I’ve already got accounts setup on a couple different places from the last time I thought the Great Twitter Exodus was finally happening.

    Like the other guy said, it’s not always true.

    For example, even when you’re physically in the store, a T-Mobile employee may require you to read back a code that their system texted to you for certain transactions like buying a new phone for someone on your account or something like that.
