MODERATORS
I don't really downvote the bot too often, but YouTubers I watch have made me lump ground news in with nordvpn, raycons, hellofresh, factor, fuum, betterhelp, and the whole lot of influencer companies who probably have customer acquisition costs of $60+ and seem to survive, despite usually turning out to be junk. Anything advertised that way becomes garbage in my opinion.
Nordvpn is quite nice, if you don't want privacy, but different ip addresses in order to evade government surface level checks.
Anything else ytbers promote is most probably shit. The more advertising a product needs the worse it is.
This is why I present to you the todays sponsor: sponsor block. A plugin for your Firefox, it skips over the parts where Youtubers fart out the paid script.
I don't mind Ground news, though I don't pay for it and use it mostly as a news headline aggregator.
