Default Is there an ad-free YouTube clone for Windows like NewPipe is for Android?

all Jews are scheisters, all Muslims are terrorists, all Italians are in
the Mafia, all Germans are white supremecists, all women in skirts are

You may have a "banter with friends" use model for Usenet.
My model is "ask for & improve knowledge".

Two different models.


"Some people think" [maybe only one person?] that you're either one or
the other model. That's like (to pick one example) that people can only
be heterosexual or homosexual.

Most people - and it applies to newsgroups, too - are a mix of the two;
most newsgroups, even technical ones like W7, _do_ have some "natter
with friends" feel. It's a _bit_ rude to try to _impose_ the other,
rather clinical (even if you talk about the "greater good" or similar
phrases), model on a 'group that has _some_ "friends/club" feeling.

Yours requires all headers to remain static.
Static headers would be meaningless in my model (and privacy leaking).


In either the bits I've snipped, or another post in this thread, you
said something like you don't care whether it's Joe or Fred who's
posting, only what the question (and answer) is. We "friends" _do_ care,
and it _does_ matter to the extent that we develop a familiarity with
the character of frequent posters - for example, we learn whether they
sometimes post sense and/or good questions, or whether they're mad as a
hatter. For myself, I don't care two hoots about headers as such, though
I prefer to know a bit - such as the "Joe Scotch" identity you've
adopted for this thread: thanks for doing that. As to why you chose to
use that rather than the previous "identity" (regardless of headers) you
used last time you posted a lot about "group knowledge" or "greater
good" or whatever it was/is, I trust you a _little_ less because of the
change, but not enough to worry unduly (and I know you'll say you don't
care about how I see you anyway).
