dude i tried this cause i also watch a lot (admittedly, too much) youtube and it's just too much of a bother on my slow ass machine. invidious helps.
tbh, i also just ended up this way out of habit. the only thing i need outside of my terminal is my hardened firefox. i've tried surf and other similar browser's but i do plenty of web development for myself/school/contract gigs so i can't reasonably escape the browser world.
i think iceland has also created a new visa for these reasons, but focused on families whose income makers are remote workers.
not sure if it's tangential, but the pandemic has also obviously impacted remote work, with more companies adopting policies that make remote work possible in the long-term. i've seen several countries starting to take advantage of this and create new visa's for remote workers who want to adopt a "digital native" lifestyle. i.e. costa rica and georgia have created new remote worker visa's to help stimulate their economy.
a little update on the situation, looks like Truth Social has 30 days to comply or their license is being permanently revoked.
