What kind of iffy politics? Only thing of what I see coming from his channel that could be considered political is complaining about government surveillance which is problematic for many regardless of whether they're right or left. Other than that it's not like politics are a talking point on his channel.

Back in the day you could get the one month free trial on repeat just using burner emails, they didn't attach it to any payment info. I'm actually amazed at how long they overlooked that for, but I had free prime for like a year cause of it.

At this point if the users want to continue using Reddit, that's their choice and I don't think holding a subreddit hostage is gonna help. I like the non-intrusive suggestions such as promoting alternatives. The users ultimately decide whether the platform survives. I'm staying on kbin because I don't like the direction Reddit is (has been) going, I'm just glad this whole situation enlightened me to good alternatives. This is just one more step in the wrong direction and people will continue to leave if they continue to make the user experience worse.

That is not a far-fetched future prediction. But as of now, Brave works just fine. No reason to stop using it now from what might happen. If SHTF, I'll simply download something else.

I have a pixel 4a and can vouch for CalyxOS. If you go the MicroG enabled route, you can still use Google services, but it's implemented in a more privacy friendly way and you don't lose a lot of functionality.

Me too, since their adblock is natively implemented it won't be affected by manifest V3.
