  "textContent": "I experimented with FreeTube, LibreTube, NewPipe, Invidious accounts, DFtube (Firefox extension). I like the local subscription model as opposed to a YT account, and alternative frontends to filter out the clickbait and unnecessary recommendations. But I found that still I ended up wasting too much time on YT.\n\nI just got rid of subscriptions completely. I figure if a channel is important enough for me, I will remember about it and look it up when I want to do that. Then I use one of those alternatives frontends/extensions when I do want to access YT.\n\nSame with RSS, I like the model but ultimately it turns into a list of stuff I feel compelled to review and/or a distraction.",
