Okay, I give Full Credit to Ilsa, demmiblue, Josh#FlyEaglesFly, and AndrewJerellJonesLuke1:37 for digging this up! But posting it in YT form ensures that it is easily visible, and that more eyes can see it.

Please do NOT recommend this post, as ALL Credit is owed to those mentioned above!

I totally agree about the BS ads, but blocking is such a handy tool. Also you can cancel notifications, and "unlike" anything you want. The annoyances seem to disappear very quickly.

If I wanted to search out the Republican/RWNJ stuff, it's all there. I have no doubt that I'd get it regularly if I did seek it. But getting rid of it is pretty easy to do.

I didn't hear what he was referencing to, just heard him screaming about Zuckerberg. Now, I understand.

Thank you.

made room for online sources, sensationalism, extremism. YouTube rants enter peoples' heads. Facebook spreads unchecked lies at the pace of wildfire. It's a pandemic of narcissistic egos with hidden agendas that warps reality and suffocates truth.
