  • ive never heard of it, i looked at it a little and it seems to be more of a self host thing, which is a potential nightmare for a casual users sanity and security. feel free to clarify if im mistaken.

    brave blocks ads IN and out of the (mobile web) yt video player, and plays video in the background(lockscreen) with no setup at all out of the box.

    to my knowledge there is not a single other first party app on the ios app store that does this.













  • also, youve gotta remember that half of the people still on reddit are super-casual users who would likely never switch to a “harder” platform. a lot of people that are using reddit right now at this moment are people that havent been on it since 2009, theyre people that are still enjoying their first experience with a forum board type community because they come from facebook, snap and instagram. i can sympathize with it.

    given that the other super mainstream online platforms are absolutely infested with ads, nannying, bots and inorganic interactions, its no surprise that theres still a huge amount of people that that just dont know better or give enough of a shit about it.

    its kinda like more of the same in a different format for them.
