100%. Half the time I get blocked due to VPN or whatever I just close the tab and go with my life. The rest of the time I try all known workarounds. If those fail, I just go with my life.

My hatred for monopolisation and enshittification is stronger than my desire to watch content on any platform.

Lol, this is exactly why I use Lemmy. Sure there might be less engagement than reddit. But I'd rather gargle a bucket of diarrhea than go back to that shitty place.
