Personally i'm using Librewolf browser and not experiencing any of that. I do belive that even vanilla Firefox would do.

Use Invidious/yewtu.be instead of Youtube itself

Switch to either Brave or Librewolf

Use archive.is (or archive.ph) to view websites locked behind a paywall or email block

Tell friends and family to share said content in person

Fear not my friend! We can take back the Internet by refusing Big Tech's services.

Agreed. It is urgent that we teach Neil Postman's "media ecology". The junk noise garbage shit Internet sucks, and enough is enough!

True and very annoying in the same time! The web is ruined :(

That's why I just stick to old school chat rooms, forums, etc.

Capitalism does this to itself due to the profit motive. Where once is innovation and brand new disruption becomes petty iteration as this new frontier slowly but surely becomes a well-oiled profit machine. The upside is that FOSS makes replacing this profit-generating soul-sucking bloatware with better alternatives very easy.

Replacing the existing infrastructure of Capitalism by building up parallel structures is a valid means of weakening Capital itself.
