Yes that makes sense, but I wanted some context to the reason of his comment. Although I could have looked myself as well, my bad :)

Telegraaf article is behind a paywall

There's not really a greta alternative that just allows you to sign in I believe. NewPipe indeed requires import, which can be a hassle. I recommend trying the ReVanced route for yourself once, because it allows you to select whichever patches you want (removing the Shorts is one of the options).

Best of luck!

Here in the Netherlands the government gave the strong advice to schools to ban the use of phones in classrooms. They did not go as far to make it a law, but schools are free to enforce the rule however they want. Some ask that students have to put their phones in their lockers. I believe this is a good step by the government, being someone who grew up in the starting era of mobile phones during high school. I for sure think it has rotted my brain, as I find it hard to stay away from my phone if I am even slightly bored.

What I meant was an algorithm adding posts in your feed from other users you "might" like. Such an algorithm will likely spawn accounts and businesses focussed on targeting as many people as possible. I fully agree with just showing a page with messages/posts from people/communities you choose!

No algorithms optimized to keep you on the platform.

The Always Free tier is also very powerful in my opinion. You get 24GB RAM and 4 OCPU's for Ampere (Arm) architecture VMs. You can run Oracle Linux or just plain old Ubuntu on it!

Censorship like that was introduced to make the platform appealing to advertisers. I'd say just don't give power over how to run the platform to advertisers.

Bizar dat dit niet meteen de kop in werd gedrukt. Het oorspronkelijke plan om internationaal gokken tegen te gaan is volledig zijn doel voorbij geschoten. Dit was volgens mij vanaf het begin wel duidelijk een gevolg bij het toelaten van het maken van reclames. Zeer jammer dat dit zoveel mensen aan het gokken heeft gekregen, zeker bij een gemiddeld verlies van 310 euro per maand dat men gokt(!)
