it's impressive, the amount of extensions needed to make watching youtube a bearable experience nowadays: adblock, sponsorblock, return dislikes, disable title translations, disable auto dubbing, remove shorts, remove unwanted search results, fix the terrible UI...
I am old enough to remember when YouTube was actually watchable but the fückin cünts who run it now, have turned watching anything on it into a refined form of torture and no - I'm absolutely NOT prepared to subscribe to the service!
