FreeTube wasn’t loading a video, so I tried opening it in the YouTube website instead. Rather than being able to watch a 13 second video (here it is in case anyone wants to know), I managed to capture is one of the most dystopian screenshots I’ve personally seen. Every single element of this image is truly astounding if you look close enough and think about it for a moment.
13 seconds of your life now costs you even more time to prove you’re not trying to scrape a video from a hundred billion dollar corporation with nearly infinite resources, advertisements and clickbait grabbing at your attention, every interaction logged and sold to thousands of data brokers, and you can’t even show your appreciation without selling more information by creating an account. How did we get here?
