Youtube is becoming unusable lately. The ads are more frequent than ever. I feel like google is listening to me and throwing an add as soon as I step away from my computer.
At the same time the experience of youtube from 15 years ago was way better. E.g. no shorts forced, dislike counts, etc.
My question is: “Are there any good alternatives?”
I would happily pay for a sub not from google. Ideally one that costs somewhat less than 20 euros. But even 20 is fine to keep corporations away from profiting on invasion of my privacy.

I was planning to get a year long sub to save costs. However in light of recent events with model restrictions in your opinion does it actually make sense or we will soon be locked out of frontier models and it would make sense to sub for opencode go or other chinese models inference providers?
Currently enjoying composer 2.5 along with occasional GPT 5.5 use on my Pro+ plan. Also have hopes Cursor’s upcoming model will be a good replacement for the GPT model

It is about five years old in total and it hasn’t been on for about three years. Should I be worried? Any suggestions?

I’ve just subbed for Pro+ plan and I’m now contemplating whether I should use it in Fast or Standard mode.
If I will be running out of usage on the fast mode and the api quota - will I still be able to just switch to Composer 2,5 Standard for the rest of the month? Or they might switch me to some other models on the slow queue? How does it work exactly?
Thanks for the help in advance!

If I try to toggle “enable telemetry” switch - it doesn’t actually save the setting. One can restart the IDE and see it for oneself.
Another issue that potentially violates GDPR is: “Antigravity IDE **requires** you to agree to share your data, to install.
“
I might be wrong but it is possible our telemetry data sending is enabled and they might have a bug in there. It is even possibly they did that intentionally to get a lot of training data. Personally I am being cautious and stop using Antigravity until they fix it, or indefinitely.
