Yahoo News and YouTube have been telling me to disable VPN

I’ll just not visit their site

Internet is becoming complicated and I’m losing interest in it

I’m no longer compelled to search all day long looking for the end of the internet

No problems with YouTube for me. I use ExpressVPN.

The ads on so many web sites are so overwhelming that you cannot read the content. The Safari “Reader” view usually does the trick for me and I get clean, ad-free pages. If that fails, then the Brave browser usually works.

To me, the internet is becoming shallow, boring, and too much trouble with a sign-in/join/chat/10%discount/share email/cookie permission/membership/etc pop-up blocking everything, ad-blockers don’t block that stuff.

Did I say shallow? Search is close to becoming useless since the deeper sources and materials seem to have been retired into a distant vault while the shallow PC/woke versions are front and center and articles have great titles with no real content, everything is written like articles in women’s magazines and the women’s section of the old newspapers, even the nationwide subject matter today is very female.

It is probably more fun than ever for those wanting a quick connection to bloggers and podcasts that tell them exactly what they want to hear, about literally everything though.
