If nothing else, I love it for the fact that I'm not bombarded with targeted ads.
I'm annoyed with ads like most of us, but I'm hitting a breaking point. I was watching YT on my TV yesterday and the amount of ads now is ridiculously over the top. I was tired of my Spotify songs so I put on the radio, big mistake.
Being here feels a little better suited for me compared to the rest of social media. Everything else is constant shilling and manipulation, I'm tired of it.
I have ublock origin on my browser but laying on the couch watching TV hits different. It's a smart TV but an older variety.
I'm aware, and have a spare pi, but I'm too lazy. (Being honest, lol)
