I see. So it still means the same but is just not authentically expressed? I guess I have never been to a place where these words are always expressed with a deep feeling.

What does it mean that “please” and “thank you” mean nothing? I am genuinely confused.

I don’t understand this. On a personal level I want to have access to a custom feed of things that interest me. Like a newspaper. Why is the expectation that this newspaper should include absolutely all content. I am not trying to destroy democracy, I just don’t want to see/interact/be reminded of certain content.

Install AdGuard pro and replace YouTube app with a shortcut to open YouTube in Safari. Adblockers can’t block ads in the app but can in Safari.

Just FYI: I can see the video on YouTube but piped gets stuck at showing the loading animation.

Safari on iOS with NextDNS and an adblocker. My dns settings are pretty unforgiving, but I wouldn’t expect YouTube to pass the checks and piped to fail.
