At work, youtube with ublock origin, adblock plus, etc, preventing the ads
Sometimes I'll stream stuff from bandcamp
On the move, the SD card in my phone (with pairdrop.net to upload albums) playing through VLC
Is there a way to prevent the "are you still watching" shit on YouTube? I do the same and that's the one drawback.
Ah, that I don't know.
I spend a lot of time listening to a "Live" stream and that doesn't seem to have thst problem... but if I listen to a playlist, yeah I have that problem.
However, I often have to stop to speak to someone / get coffee, so that seems to reset the timer so it's not toooo bad for me
Makes sense, I'll keep that in mind. Thanks!
