Having such a big influencer as Pewds shout out selfhosting, ad blocking and general privacy improvements is a huge win, no matter what your opinion is of him.

can already tell this is gonna be the most insufferable comment section of all time

I think he’s a tool, but credit where it’s due: it’s great that he’s supporting the movement, and he does have a huge following.

I totally missed him being a Youtube jackoff and only watched my first Pewdiepie video last year when he was degoogling. Because I was doing that as well. Then saw his Linux video and that made me realise Linux was for me.

So while people might think he's some sort of douche, to me he's just fucking brilliant! So funny and smart, and really wants to help people escape from the awful internet we have now, where everything is sucking up your data. He gives great advice on how to do that and does it in such a funny way.

People keep mentioning his redemption arc lol, but i've just seen the great stuff so for me, abs love his stuff! Highly recommended!

Best thing for Linux, having such a huge Youtuber praising it so much!

There's some irony in that sponsor block has to block four segments of the video.

Self-hosting is a literal addiction. lol
I started with just an invidious instance and now I have my own audiobooks app that I’m also turning into a navidrome client. Did I say jellyfin and pihole, too?

I love everything he has been doing recently. He is a master of story telling and goes surprisingly far into solving technology challenges, while keeping it fun and real. What an amazing transformation really 

The people hating on him clearly haven't seen much of his content lately. He's grown up and has his life together pretty well now. If you think nobody is deserving of a second chance then you do you, nobody is forcing you to watch his content. I honestly love his redemption arc and I've watched some of his content lately and really enjoyed it. And good for him that he likes self hosting and is doing all these pc DIY projects.

Didnt know pewds is breaching into the tech sphere (from gaming).
Do I need to sub him now? :p

I dont really understand, is it possible to block JUST the shorts on Youtube? Any idea where i can find more about that?

I dont want to leave youtube just yet, but occasionally the shorts are melting my brain.

I block minuses too

I don't understand what's going on with this redemption arc
