YouTube and Google are saints compared to Meta and Microsoft, I'm sorry. And I'm someone who is actively deGoogling themselves right now.
Microsoft got so bad I had to switch operating systems (no real love lost, but I really did enjoy XP, 7 and even Vista for nostalgia reasons - first desktop PC), and Meta... do I really even need to say anything?
- tourmalinetaco 3y agoIt’s so much easier for me to de-M$/Meta than de-Google however. Namely because YouTube still offers some value to me that unfortunately Odysee lacks for the time being. Using Invidious helps a lot though.
- kosolam 3y agoAlso found NewPipe again. It’s actually more useful than the official app.
- hedora 3y agoSo bad in what way? Windows 8 was when they started following the Google surveillance and "QA in customer prod" playbooks, which are the reasons I stopped keeping a backup copy of MS operating systems around.
- horsawlarway 3y ago> YouTube and Google are saints compared to Meta and Microsoft They most certainly are not... If anything, Google is trying it's damned hardest to pull off a "Microsoft v2" party. Everything from intentionally harming competitors, defrauding their ad customers, ruthless tracking and selling information about their users, hoovering up the competition and then killing it (or at best, letting it rot in some corner). And oh - by the way! Google also happens to own the dominant web browser and is merrily InternetExplorerifying it more and more every day. Frankly - the resemblance is so strong to mid 2000s MS that I'm staggered.
