And immediately, right away, on the same day, Nazi Germany began to accuse the Soviet Union of almost being the one who attacked, as if the Soviet Union was preparing an attack. Nonsense.

⚡️💬 WATCH - Pewdiepie reveals how to break free from the algorithm “A lot of this is going to sound crazy but you’ve gotta hear me out, it’s a step by step process.

The effect that had on me is I’m not the product anymore. The things I use are mine and because they’re not free, I’m not paying with my privacy. I think the main difference is ads and news don’t reach me” “Next thing I did was disable Shorts, I like YouTube but I hate how Shorts is everywhere I can’t escape it” “Then I unfollowed everyone. You don’t have to do this, this is definitely a me thing, I just got really fed up” “Next, get a DNS blocker. You can remove ads completely, most of it won’t even reach your device” “I think you owe it to yourself to take some time today and start building your tech fence” “These tech companies don’t care about you, so you’ve got to care about yourself. The cheat code is building some friction and filtering out the noise, that’s your defence and your cure”
