That happens. I dated someone who worked in a group home for foster kids and they try to set a kid up with some place to live, like an AFC home after they turn 18, but sometimes they don’t have any options and get dropped off at a homeless shelter.

Yay more shit that nobody asked for.

I do that but every 30 days the short videos come back and then I have to click on the dots again. It’s not difficult but it’s kind of a dirty trick by YouTube. I look forward to something like peertube reaching critical mass. If YouTube continues to abuse their users, gets too spammy, gets too expensive with the paid tier, I think people will jump ship. Peertube isn’t ready for prime time yet.

I bit the bullet and jumped ship. It was hard deleting my account with all the friends and family following me, but I realized that FB isn’t a worthwhile substitute for real relationships. In fact I think it was detrimental to my personal life. People are also get very fake on those services.

Losing users is a must for these services. If people stop using them then they become worthless. I personally find the advertisement and the shady manipulation going on in the background as a deal killer for me. I hope decent people realize they don’t have to wallow in spam and nastiness of those awful services; that civilized and spam-free alternatives are out there.

I virtue signaled 7 years ago when the whole Cambridge Analytica scandal broke, realizing that Facebook is a seedy company that can’t be trusted.

Grand Canyon is proof that the world isn’t 5000 years old.
