A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.

Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

Absolutely, you are free to make every kind of contract if you like. Personally, I am not very invested in youTube, I don't watch any streamers or youTubers, it's just a video hosting platform for me. I am boycotting Google wherever I can, it is a privacy desaster and dystopia-like enterprise. NewPipe has all the 'features' as well, if it breaks I just let YouTube go..

I could live without youtube for sure, I have more of a Reddit problem than a YouTube problem... but it seems they fixed that for me.
