And since you won’t be able to modify web pages, it will also mean the end of customization, either for looks (ie. DarkReader, Stylus), conveniance (ie. Tampermonkey) or accessibility.

The community feedback is… interesting to say the least.

    The enshittification of the internet shall continue.

    We will fight and we will lose, as depressing as it sounds. The vast majority of people just don’t and won’t care.

          Then i’ll scrape the songs i currently watch on youtube with jdownload and stop using the page otherwise.

          All they do is make the internet less attractive. Now that works to increase profits for a while, but eventually the content creators withdraw, the platforms become worse and eventually uncool and people stop using it, or use it less. Facebook is on a decline in western countries. We went through multiple video snippet apps already and tiktok and instagram too will be declining eventually.

          We dont have to win the war because the war will never end. We just gotta make the best out of the battlefields we win.

            I built a Python script that scrapes metadata from Spotify and apply it to songs downloaded off YouTube so it looks identical as if you bought the album.

            I’ve been thinking to post it on like GitHub cause it’ll be useful for tons of people but I also don’t want to get sued

              That is super awesome, but yeah, sounds like the kinda thing you should keep underground. Too many cool projects have been killed because they went public.

      But a small minority of really determined people is enough to change the world 🙌

      I love to see how people nowadays find easier to imagine the end of the world than the end of capitalism… That’s how they’ve been brainwashing us till now.
