   "When you take a step back and look at the playing field of an algorithm-controlled society and how it influences people, the view is absurd. It’s not inclusive, it’s not equitable and it’s not in any way attentive to human wellbeing." - @axbom

     @imgn My workflow with YT is basically I subscribe via RSS. In fact, the channels I 100% like are downloaded automatically via cron + yt-dlp and the rest are checked manually on the RSS reader and played via mpv. I guess the minute Google ditches public RSS feeds I’m fucked... @m2m @axbom

     @m2m @axbom I keep a LinkedIn account so professionals can find me, but I never open it unless I get a message. And when I do, I avoid the home feed which is mostly just self-promotion anyway.

     I left Twitter and the other social media networks a while ago and don't miss them at all. As for YouTube, I can't quit it. But I only browse with an ad-blocker and sometimes logged out, so it doesn't create a problem for me either.

     @imgn curious, I just read the article :) I still have LinkedIn and YouTube. I don't have many issues with the latter, I'm using it as a TV, don't follow any suggestions. I'm very irritated by the former though. Keep thinking about getting rid of it. @axbom

     @m2m Yeah, we should talk quietly about that, maybe they just don't remember they're still on... 😁 @imgn @axbom

     @tagomago this is interesting. I tried to follow via RSS multiple times but there's always something off-putting. yt-dlp is my go-to tool as well, as soon as I find something I find interesting. About Google ditching public feeds, I have to say I'm honestly surprised they're still there... @imgn @axbom

     @tagomago @m2m I have seriously been considering using RSS for YouTube too. Especially now that @thunderbird is getting really interesting again!

     Isn't it funny how as the corporate web moves forward, we move ever more back to the future ;) @axbom
