No, GrapheneOS is a great Android OS tbh
Comment on YouTube is finally cracking down on third-party apps that enable ad-blocking
PhAzE@lemmy.ca 5 months agoGetting off youtube os pretty difficult with no true alternative.
You forgot get off Android, which would also mean just going Apple. No good alternative there either.

I honestly don’t have a problem buying stuff from Google, provided they don’t get to hoover up my data. And I can buy that Google Phone from eBay or something instead.

We have to make the alternatives. As Lemmy is an alternative to reddit, PeerTube could be an alternative to YouTube.

YouTube is not a mandatory necessity. We live in a world of infinite sources of recreation. Get off YouTube has absolutely no requirement for an alternative to exist. Like alcohol, music, books, or whatever, you can only just not do it.

Youtube is a fantastic learning tool for diy, how to vids, reviews, education, etc. The lost goes on, and yea it has crap too, but there’s so much use for it in every day life also. Brushing it off would be literally like saying “dlstay away from books, there’s so many other thongs you could be looking at”.

It’s more like saying, “stay away from that particular publisher, because it’s abusive to the authors and steals from the readers”.
I do agree that I could look to so many thongs.

I guess an AOSP-based rom, if one exists for your phone?

I’m excited about Linux phones like the Pinephone, but they’re really not ready for anything more than Linux enthusiasts to flex. I was hoping to switch, but I need a new phone now, so I’ll probably get a Pixel and put GrapheneOS on it. At least that way I control what data Google gets access to.
