I've noticed YouTube specifically has become more addictive, I never used to be one to sit and scroll for long durations before but I often catch myself spending way too long on shorts now

Even people or older generations seem to be getting sucked in nowadays

I downloaded freetube, is that one ok?

[โ€“] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Have not used FreeTube myself.
However it appears to be reputable / decent.

Rule of thumb:

  • Steer clear of proprietary / closed source software
  • Always aim to use open source software if possible
