Today in a Privacy community a post about YouTube. No word about privacy but all about which software or settings are needed to watch videos and the money needed to host videos. It made me wonder whether some of you can lead a meaningful life without YouTube. Or will a cold turkey bring the worst out of you ?

I use less Lemmy than I did Reddit, and I don't use Reddit at all anymore, so it isn't really 13+ hours. Also youtube can run while I'm on Lemmy, so in the space of 2 hours I can be on Lemmy + YouTube for 4 hours.

Maybe you just didn't consider that I have minimal interaction with actual people outside of work, and I don't work much.
