  • All of these people buying dumb phones instead of just downloading a text launcher on their phone and calling it a day. Like I’m not about to go waste money on a dumb phone when I can (1) set up a text based launcher and (2) uninstall Instagram. I have a perfectly good Samsung, and I’ve switched to using it more as a tool than a source of dopamine.

    Too many people fall for the hype of these objects bc it’s easier than taking accountability, and easier than taking the initiative to do something on your own.








  • This is probably going to be an unpopular opinion, but, imma say it anyway. If what you’re using now works for you and your family and people are happy with continuing to use it, then keep using it. There is no ethical consumption under capitalism. You have to pick your battles, and pick what you spend your time and your energy on. I personally don’t know anything about tidal, I made the switch to YouTube music bc I already pay for YouTube premium, and I used their import tool for my liked songs and my playlists. Very easy, seamless experience for me, only a couple songs “couldn’t be found” or YouTube picked the “wrong” version (like it picked a live version over a studio recording, for example).

    But if what you’re using is working out … Idk man, might just be easier to keep using it. Esp since you’re making it sound like you simply don’t want to actually switch and you’re starting to cave to peer pressure.





  • The algorithm recommends things it thinks you’ll like or have watched before. So if its recommending AI slop, it’s because you’re watching AI slop already. People just refuse to take the time to “train” your algorithm (and this isn’t just YouTube, it’s all algorithmic based platforms). You like / dislike stuff, hide things, give feedback, etc, and eventually you only really see the stuff you actually want to see. Sure some things slip through but 🤷‍♀️ I use YouTube and will continue to only bc the people I watch don’t post anywhere else, unfortunately.
