Yeah, very fair points. Just that lacking this desire entirely is very consistent with my experience, so I still prefer to assume most women only “unlock” it under said conditions.

I was told that a lot of women do indeed start to want “it” after forming a deep emotional connection with somebody. Yet to experience that. Most men are just horny at nobody in particular tho

Self-doxing is a major reason why I never tried dating sites/apps. You don’t have any chance there without a photo of yourself, and having my face posted online is a strict “no”. Especially since I don’t really look like an adult, which might attract some… unwanted kind of attention.

But mostly it’s the fact that pretty much all men want sex there.

Ye, when outdoors in my wireless headphones, I won’t even hear the difference.

Neat finds) That was not my point though. I just use yt-dlp and don’t feel the need to have a server for my multiple files. I just was wondering if I could help share the preserved content somewhere. I could just link to the torrents on my website, but that wouldn’t be of much use because no one ever would think of searching there…

I find using it in a browser clunky. Much prefer a dedicated app (now I use Tubular), which gives some extra functions like downloads, history and playlists.

I am now downloading everything I personally need or like. Wish there was, say, a torrent index of Youtube videos)

True. But I am not even talking about dedicated content creators (for whom it is indeed an option!). I am talking about, say, an old laptop disassembly guide that a random master uploaded and just forgot about it. People not actively managing their content are not going to bother.

Youtube is not just entertainment tho - the catch is that Google has way too much actually useful info hostage, like lectures, guides or documentaries.

Having to rely on an internet connection for your main connection would be inconvenient as hell.

Because I don’t want it to take up too much space? My phone has a ton of storage but I would still rather not spend tons of it at a time…

I would be more concerned about how phone-oriented it is. A phone’s default OS is such spyware that I am not sure just what is safe from from being uploaded. And even if the person wants a more private alternative, most phones have locked bootloaders. On the other hand, Linux would run on damn near anything… But using Signal on it without a smartphone is very annoying. No way my mom would understand an Android VM or a command-line client, because the desktop client isn’t feature-full and doesn’t even allow registration.
