My experience:
Google something
The result is linked to a Medium article, which's guarded by a Paywall or Firewall.
Give up on googling.
Find another solution for the problem.
Basically, i have about 80% probability of wasting my time on the internet.
- dredmorbius 4y agoKnowing alternative-interface sites to get around paywalls / regwalls helps. For Medium: https://scribe.rip/ https://scribe.rip/ (replace the host/domain part of the URL). Twitter -> Nitter (e.g., https://nitter.net/ https://nitter.net/ ... there are numerous others) YouTube -> Invidious or Piped (e.g., https://yewtu.be/ https://yewtu.be/ or https://piped.kavin.rocks/ https://piped.kavin.rocks/) Instagram -> Bibliogram (https://bibliogram.art https://bibliogram.art) Reddit -> Teddit (https://teddit.net/ https://teddit.net/)
- yakubin 4y agoI don't understand Piped. It's marketed as a faster frontend for YouTube, but more often than not, for me it's actually a lot slower (buffering-wise) than normal YouTube, gives me lower video quality and I end up switching from it[1] to normal YouTube to make the experience bearable. [1]: Nitter replaces YouTube links with Piped links, so I end up on Piped partly involuntarily.
- dredmorbius 4y agoI find Piped seems to work more reliably than Invidious (or at least my usual Invidious instance). Particularly on newer or music videos. I consider the two largely exchangeable, though Invidious is my first choice. Piped seems to offer finer-grained control. Most often I simply listen (usually to lectures / podcasts) via mpv (accessing through yt-dlp).
