The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:

Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Posts and comments which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding META posts.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-Reddit posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
Rule 7- You can't harass or disturb other members.
If you vocally harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
:::spoiler Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.

I actually paid for Reddit Premium about as long as I remember it being around. I cancelled the instant they announced the intent to paywall and censor the API.
I’m generally fine with paying for services I use and enjoy, if I consider the price reasonable. I spent a lot of time on Reddit and considered it reasonable for avoiding ads.
They’ll never see a cent from me again, not from ad revenue or otherwise. I blocked Reddit’s URLs on my PiHole just to be sure.
I subscribed to Youtube Premium because of how much I actually use it in my day to day life.
It's the only regular subscription I have, only because I use it across multiple platforms and away from home.
But the price hike they just announced is unjustified, especially when they KEEP TAKING DOWN MY FAVORITE CREATORS VIDEOS. Poor Speedo and David Firth.
*Edits for spelling, I'm pissed off and piss drunk
I also got YouTube premium, felt a bit rude to spend tens of thousands of hours without paying a cent.
My main issue is demonitising the videos also stops premium revenue, which is a bit dumb. Like sure I get removing ad revenues, but if I'm a paying customer and want a share of my cost to go to whoever I'm watching, it should just do that.
This is why I’ll never pay for Premium, but I’ll cheerfully join a creator’s Patreon or other direct subscription if I really enjoy their channel.
There was a workaround to signuo for YouTube premium using a VPN to turkey. It makes it $3 a month. Maybe it's 5 now with the price hike, idk. Not sure if it still works or not though
Yeah I've had YouTube premium for a long time, and I don't mind paying for it, but the fact half the people I follow are getting copyright claimed (unfairly) or taken down is really a huge bummer. It's been hitting the true crime & film review communities particularly hard. I'm hoping more of my fave creators start using Odyssee or rumble because I don't really like supporting a platform who treats their creators like shit.
Thanks, I didn't know YT Vanced was being continued
UYouPlus + AltStore exists for apple users as a Vanced like app too. Works without a jailbreak as well.
Though it is a bit of a mess around because apple.
What are the benefits to YouTube Premium? I just click off the ad, knee jerk reaction. AdBlock for YouTube make my experience pretty happy.
I do like laying in bed with my gf and watching Omletto videos and the like. Not sure how Premium would help.
Where can I find a list of all Reddit URLs? I’m hosts blocking them on my laptop (since I also use it outside my home network).
if you block reddit.com and redd.it
you'll be fiine
Got it. Thanks.
