Or use NewPipe if you don't need to sync with your Google account.

Doesn't seem to quite get the concept of gloves, though...

That's their end goal: no choice whatsoever, you watch 30 minutes of ads, followed by the 30 second video the algorithm wants you to watch (which is also an ad), 30 more minutes of ads, and so on.

And, since they also own chrome, you can't go to any other page without first spending at least six hours watching youtube.

Have you met people..?

I for one do appreciate Denuvo. They help me blacklist anti-consumer publishers and developers.

That's tragic, LG monitors used to be great.

But it's trivial to torrent their content at whatever resolution I want...

“Does it have denuvo (or any other form of malware, including microtransactions)” should be the first question.

If the answer is yes, never look at it again, and permanently blacklist both developer and publisher.

If the answer is no, then go on with the rest of the diagram.

In my case they're facing a 100% revenue reduction regardless of when (or whether) it's cracked.

I'm never going to buy denuvo infested malware, and developers and publishers who try to pull this shit go straight into the blacklist.

I use a 13 year old PC because a newer one will be infected with Windows 11. (The company refuses to migrate to Linux because some of the software they use isn't compatible.)
