I've been using wallabag for that, but this looks much more polished at first glance. I hope they improve their self-hosting support

I think the pricing of their subscription is roughly the same as audible's, but you get your books DRM-free. They also have some great books on sale sometimes that you don't need a subscription for, and you can choose a local bookstore to share revenue with. That said, city libraries are an amazing option as well.

I think I managed to sync playback position (or maybe it was just played status?) with Antennapod and the NC app at some point, but it seemed slow and unreliable, and I couldn't use it on my iPad, so I stuck with Pocket Casts for now :(

For audiobooks I recently discovered libro.fm and it works great. You can use their app to listen to it like any other service, but you can also just download the plain drm-free mp3s. For music there is bandcamp if the artist is on there, but for movies and series I'm not aware of any vendors like that. DVDs I don't see as an option because their file size limit is too low, the quality on a modern TV looks really bad. And Blurays are a whole other level of DRM hell.

Doesn't Podfetch integrate gpodder, so you don't need a separate gpodder instance? Or did I misunderstand that. Otherwise there is also a gpodder sync plugin for nextcloud I think. But yeah, I haven't found a satisfactory solution that works on Android and iOS myself

HoloCure. I don't know anything about vtubers, but it's free and pretty good

So they want more control over what people are able to install

Oh, so that's why there's no hint of UP in the UP version of Molly

I honestly have more than enough content on Youtube to watch without having to rely on recommendations, and I intentionally do not use Google accounts in any other capacity either. So yeah, for me Youtube Premium is just not an option even though I would be open to pay for the content. Hell, I even do donate to some individual creators through other platforms already. If Google wants my money they shouldn't have killed the separate Youtube account and shouldn't have forced everything into their surveillance-ad business.

YouTube provides two ways to "pay" for your content: with ads, or by paying for premium.

Not quite, unfortunately. You can pay by watching ads in addition to being surveiled, or by paying for premium and being surveiled potentially even harder (because you have to have an account with personal and payment information). Google does not stop tracking you and selling your profile just because you pay for Premium, so it's not an option for me.

I don't have any of OP's issues, but this one! I hate it! Especially on the Steam Deck

JavaScript is a foam bat. Easy enough to wield and it'll get the job done, but very inefficiently and it'll be an ugly sight..
