For a long time I have disconnected my TV from WiFi, I watch the news in the morning and watch movies on the official website of public TV or on Pluto TV on the computer or via Bluetooth on TV for free and without ads. It has been clear to me for a long time that the prefix “smart…” on electronic devices is synonymous with “spy…”.

First class T Bone steak for free, buying the new Huawai phone

• Worst relation price - performance, you pay design not features
• Apple is own by Apple, never by the user
• Not share-friendly with other phones or systems; you are locked within the Apple world, you can’t even download a simple mp3 without installing first the iTunes app.
• Almost not repairable
• It’s the closest of all closed source, hermetic against all out of the Apple ecosystem.
• Not more private than other

Not with the crrent ones, it’s easier to difference ads by code than by content in most Vids, eg, divulgations, news, influencers, etc. YT, to not destroy the own business modell, also avoiding that there later also 5 years old vids with outdated ads, must use some kind of dynamic insertion, that means, it can be discovered and skipped by some userscripts, for sure not in the extension stores, but in Greasyfork or OpenuserJS, which are independent from Google influence.

YT has 2 posibilities

• Hosting all videos doble, one with ads and the same vids without for premium user
• Insert also markers which at the end also are exploited by adblockers and userscripts

I think they’ll hit their teeth against a rock with this.

Meanwhile a lot of content creators a changing to Odysee
