Apparently they migrating to a new data centre

Bearing in mind the community you’re posting in I wouldn’t think they were suggesting the big streaming companies.

Kodi + (insertname)debrid or stremio+ (insertname)debrid … either will let you stream torrents in much better quality than the streaming sites and no need to horde.

Also, i’m fairly sure there’s some torrent clients that allow streaming of the torrent file, I’m not sure if they’re still around but I think Vuze was one, I don’t used desktops any more just mobile/tablet so my knowledge might now be out of date.

I’ve been using a variety of LibreTube and revanced on my phone and tablet as I only have mobile devices.

For the first time I opened a link which went to the native app, OMG it is unusable with ads.

If that’s the expected way of using YouTube then I’m out, especially as I live in a location where I can’t pay for Premium even if I wanted to

Whilst enlightening, it’s kinda also useless. Let’s be honest the majority of endusers use a particular app, in the main, because its most likely what everyone else in their friend group uses.

In my case WhatsApp, I’d struggle to get all my friends and family to change at this point.

If you think meta has any good intentions I would suggest reading this article about how they killed xmpp open protocol.

There objective will be simple, monetize and if they can’t, kill off the competition.

Edit: grammar and spelling

I sincerely hope that as many admins as possible instantly defederate from metas instance if they ever launch one.

I’m 56 and play Minecraft and PUBG mobile.

As long as you’re having fun I don’t see why it should have an age limit.

Unless you’re playing specifically children’s games.
