I don't subscribe to anyone, but have donated to the authors I like, just as I did to the FOSS projects I use. One blogger even has a site where you can tie your donation to a specific video of his.

And for Youtube Music - RiMusic does just what you described but does not require a Google account or a recurring payment.

If I want to support the creator, I would rather donate directly or subscribe to the person's Patreon. YT Premium just gives no extra features for Youtube itself so could not justify paying.

I used to think it is redundant too, but now see it as a quality-of-life difference. Because I can track my subscriptions and watch history, as well as have playlists. That is a massive improvement over folders of bookmarks.

For me, Newpipe is faster. Plus I can track my subscriptions, playlists and watch history.

That's why here, giving a student a laptop without supervision is unthinkable... Good if the school has computers at all anyway.

The only one I can think of is Yotaphone.

Mine is about 20cm in diagonal, and I find this size perfect. Most of my textbooks are only available as PDF/DJVU, often as scans. And those that do have a text version often end up with messed-up formatting or a lot of recognition errors that make reading annoying, so even then I usually opt for a "raw" scan, despite lesser convenience.

Seen a noname Aliexpress phone with a normal display on one side and an e-ink one on the other.

How is that different from the free version in a browser with Ublock Origin?

Correction. Briar is true p2p, while Simplex relies on servers - but said servers can be hosted by anyone and interoperate.
