I've been trying it out, and it's solid. Startpage seems to get me where I need to go a bit quicker, but this is still a good backup and I'm thrilled to have another frontend for Brave search.
These are the same communities where large swathes of the population greedily apply for all the social safety net programs, often saying they need to get the benefits before the fictional welfare queens take them all, then immediately vote for the person saying they're running on a platform to get rid of all those same programs.
It took them fucking 3 years of seeing them in action to even contemplate this?
Yeah, because this isn't Battlefield Earth. You can't stick cave men in jets and expect them to know how it works. Drones had to get so Fisher Price My First UAV easy that these fools can use it with their usual trailer park kitchen-made kinetic setups.
Sure, but tech bros manage to balance being idiots and influence pretty well. And for the most part, tech people prefer things that are both a money flex and perceived easing friction. Even even they don't.

But your solution is to not use the smart functions of a Smart TV. Do a factory reset of your TV and get some sort of external device like an Amazon Fire Stick or Apple TV or Raspbery pi or even a Linux Laptop. Treat your TV like a monitor for a small computer.

They'll never think about it like that. Even though Ruby Ridge happened under Bush 41, the Weavers are all insane about Democrats. Even though most of them would suggest 9/11 was an Inside Job to pass the Patriot Act, under Bush 43, it was all Obama to blame for anything bad. Even though Trump banned bump stocks, it's the Dems that love gun control (which they rarely ever actually pass). Even though James Brady was Reagan's press secretary, the Brady Bill passed under Clinton right after Waco happened and the ATF made taking guns a national obsession with those people.
Some sites also use canvas blocking as a metric to determine if you're a bot or not. Bit that wouldn't affect Freetube. Freetube is its own app, so I would check to see what it has under the API settings. It should fall back to the "local API" which is just your internet connection. The Invidious APIs rarely work for me anymore.
