YouTube is getting harder to access, but I never watch online, anyway. There 
is this little item called youtube-dl, which allows me to download their 
videos, so that I can watch at my leisure, without viewing their ads, or 
waiting for buffers, and I can watch it as many times as I want. Also, if you 
know what you are doing, there is no problem with running "torify youtube-dl" 
when trying to grab a video. And geographical restrictions also vanish (with 
a little work). 

If other people trust unknown entities somewhere "out there" having access to 
my browsing history, or whatever else of my data they get in their clutches, 
then they must be better adapted to this digital age than I. 

I may eventually return to a totally pre-computer life. There are still some 
places in the world without all this time-wasting crap, where people read 
actual books made of paper, or play music with actual instruments made of 
wood.
