I use the Molly-FOSS fork, do you know if that removes the metadata collection? I know it doesn't use any Google Play Services and it comes with its own notification bubble though.

Musicolet, lets you create playlists but it can also create randomized playlists and have multiple queues at the same time. It's not FOSS though, if that's something you care about. But it doesn't even connect to the internet so I don't mind.
Yeah it's practically impossible to completely escape GAFAM unless we renounce 'digital life' or make a humongous effort or whatever. It's about reducing / minimizing the amount of shit they know about us, not being the coolest most degoogled guy in the room. I can't afford to quit my job just because they make me use Microsoft Authenticator. So yeah essentially it's better to use Newpipe than Youtube, what a great thing that some dude or dudette decided to develop it for free, Peertube? Even better, yay options, end of story.
What a fucking joke.
Tetris on Gameboy (around 1993).
Yeah, you should. You will always feel worse with yourself for not having the balls to quit and try just because of the easy money you have now, unless you are an empty shell of a human being which you don't seem to be. We need other things to actually feel like we have lived and seized the day and all that, which is something we tend to care about a lot as we get older. Speaking from experience (I started a new career at 35, and don't regret it in the slightest).
Thank you! I was on the lookout for this kind of thing too.
Many if not most creators have complained that what Youtube pays them is ridiculous.
You're doing exactly what they want you to do then. Why not try some alternatives for ad-free watching like Newpipe or Freetube or some such? Youtube is not worthy of your hard-earned cash...
I'd recommend Eternity for Lemmy, same developer as Infinity for Reddit, and FOSS. I too tried a bunch of Lemmy apps and I settled on Eternity because it's pretty much a complete app. I don't miss any features.
I see. Thanks.
