uBlock Origin blocks all ads from the streaming sites I use. YouTube, Peacock, Paramount+ and Hulu. Some movies and sports I can easily pirate with no ads.




I gave up traditional TV for ad-free streaming back in 2009 and have never looked back.



You were going for some Socratic roundabout ironic thing?

No.

Right? Use Firefox or a derivative (ex. LibreWolf). Ladybird will be coming out in the future so that may be a viable option.

Also, it isn’t ‘decentralization’ in the strictest technical sense. That’s what the Decentralization Scoring System is trying to show.



more people need to self-host, or at the very least we need more mon-and-pop style datacenters.

most would rather offload hardware costs and, more importantly, security, to those more knowledgeable.

running one’s own hardware is extremely time intensive, nevermind power and equipment costs

These three points that you’ve made are NOT accurate. I could go into great detail as to why this is but I won’t waste our time nor embarrass you.

The problem, unfortunately, always comes down to money.

This isn’t a technological problem.

All of the popular widely used corporate platforms gain more users because they have the money in which to market/advertise themselves.



I Believe That It's Important For All of Us to Understand What 'Decentralization' Truly Means. Please, Let's Talk About That
Recently, I've been learning more about this subject. Today I came across the [Decentralization Scoring System](https://github.com/NoBadDays/decentralization-score/blob/main/decentralization_score_2025.04.md) and it slapped me across the face.
