Make #YouTube great again with the awesome Unhook browser extension.
It works extremely well on both #Firefox:

As well as #Chromium based browsers such as #Vivaldi:

Pair that with a battle-tested adblocker such as #UBlockOrigin and reap the benefits of a much smoother UI.

@cristianrasch I used Unhook to break my addiction to the Youtube algorithm. next up will be breaking my addiction to slinging 💩 in the comments, as part of my ongoing disconnection from toxic platforms.

@surfhosting I'm 100% with you there. The cripplingly anxiety I often feel whenever I make even the most innocent of remarks online, make me question the need to open my virtual mouth in the first place.
My advice is the same as yours: escape all toxic social media sites as fast as you can. They are not worth the toll they take from your mental wellbeing.

@cristianrasch I never used to experience that but I get it more often than I did nowadays... though I actually I most often get it from making spicy posts on the fediverse, because I used to be much more prone to argue online and thus the anxiety comes from occasionally overstepping here where I'm way more motivated to be polite.

I still occasionally roast random bad Youtube comments and don't feel bad about it, but it's nevertheless not good for me, which is why quitting all interaction with comments is next now that I've eliminated chasing the algorithm.
