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

No big deal anyway, the Windows 10 group is definitely not being overrun by spam, but for people who enjoy USENET mysteries... After taking a look, it appears to be a different poster than the one who asked before. Not that the header being different is conclusive, but here are the two, beginning with the prior... By the way... The original poster can search for the prior thread if it wants other angles/answers to its question. The problem here is that some people think all Black people are thieves, all Jews are scheisters, all Muslims are terrorists, all Italians are in the Mafia, all Germans are white supremecists, all women in skirts are whores, all gay men are sluts, etc. To wit, some people think that anyone who wants privacy on the net is trolling or spamming even though they don't troll nor do they spam. It's like accusing everyone of locking their car doors when they park at the mall of hiding drugs in the vehicle. Sure, trolls change their headers and spammers do too. But a troll actually trolls, and a spammer actually spams. There is no crime in changing headers, and, in fact, I've posted probably ten thousand times on Usenet over the decades and never once have I trolled or spammed. 1. I ask a question. 2. I respond to every valid response. 3. I attempt every viable suggestion. 4. I report back on what I found. 5. I generally *improve* the overall *tribal knowledge* of the group. (Or at least I try.) I don't even use a Usenet reader. I'm on Linux most of the time that I'm using Usenet (where the tools I use originated with rn and tin on SunOS and Solaris). I have no idea what *any* of the headers say since they're all culled out of a dictionary lookup and only statically tied to the original post. Those decades-old scripts are a mess by now, but I don't even know *who* I am when I post since that isn't of any concern to the question. Why would it matter if "joe" posted or "bill" or "bobby" or "sue" when all that matters is the question. The header contains nntp posting information that is meaningless. Some people here use Usenet to banter and to cajole and to make "friends". I don't. I use Usenet to expand my knowledge and to give back to the group with that expanded knowledge. I ask for your help - and I give help back in return. I don't ask you to be my friend and I don't need you to know who I am. All you need to know is what the question is, and what the answers become. For that, you just need to know the SUBJECT and BODY. Everything else is meaningless to the question. You may have a "banter with friends" use model for Usenet. My model is "ask for & improve knowledge". Two different models. Yours requires all headers to remain static. Static headers would be meaningless in my model (and privacy leaking). |
