Why would anyone want to bring a kid into this clown show hell? Not to mention who can afford it.

Smarter, more educated people tend to, by and large, make smarter decisions. I.e. not bringing a kid into the world if you know you can’t afford to. Or you recognize that you kid is probably going to have a way harder go of things than you did.

Educated people have fewer children. It’s true in every developed nation.

How have you never heard of yt-dlp?

Running personalDNSFilter (whole phone, non-root adblocker) blocks ads just fine for me in the official unmodified Youtube app.

Chrome + Ublock Origin Lite also still works, fyi.

Pretty easy to know, in fact. Same way Netflix, Disney, or HBO knows. Same account, accessed simultaneously from two distinct IP addresses. Not really rocket surgery.

Doomed from the start.

Nice try FBI
