  • Which makes me think they won’t do that, at least until they realize their current plan won’t work out in the long run. So far they’ve been going in the opposite direction by locking down everything:

    • killing off third party apps
    • making it difficult to access on old Reddit or mobile web
    • only letting search engines index the site if they pay
    • talk of paywalling subreddits

    On that note, there is this browser extension

    https://dearrow.ajay.app/

    DeArrow is an open source browser extension for crowdsourcing better titles and thumbnails on YouTube. The goal is to make titles accurate and reduce sensationalism. No more arrows, ridiculous faces, and no more clickbait.

    It’s nice because it will affect all the videos equally. I didn’t want to use it initially because it was messing with my ability to remember which videos I had already seen. I might give it a try again since people keep changing video thumbnails now

    I enjoyed a few when I first came across the channel because it reminded me of those shows from decades ago. The ones where someone comes up to you in a toy / electronics store and you have a minute to grab whatever you can for free. That was a fun concept.

    However a lot more of the videos feel like this, especially with how well known he is now. I don’t think I’m the target age group regardless.

    At the least, they could have access to any files you open through MS office since it has file history. I would also review your OneDrive settings and see what’s being backed up where, since Microsoft likes to mess with those settings.

    Look into LibreOffice and OnlyOffice. Both can help you get around needing MSOffice, and the latter is visually very similar to MS
