Based on how nerdy lemmy seems to be with all the Linux talk the demographic that is more similar to old reddit.

There was a period early in reddit when it seemed more techy. Later on it became more mainstream with a shift towards people posting in a manner more similar to Facebook and Instagram sharing more personal pics and memes.

Another reason I prefer stuff like newpipe and its forks and freetube on desktop is to be able to access my subscription feed with a local one to reduce YouTube account use as much as possible.

Yeah what of the things that led me to using YouTube logged out was a small thing like getting bunch of video game spoilers if I viewed some videos of a game I was interested in or needed a walk through or tip on.

I like the fork pipepipe since it has sponsorblock and also let’s you use a YouTube account only for accessing age restricted videos, since YouTube disabled that for people without accounts.
