yutoob.org

A tethical way to use YouTube. No distractions, no ads, low memory + energy usage, and no clickbait aimed to take you on a night-long bender on the Top 10 Mysteries Putin Doesn't Want You To Know. Mainly just a practice React.js project I might actually use.

FAQs

What are tethics?

For too long, these large tech companies have harvested our data, they have violated our privacy, they have tracked our every move. Starting today, I will be asking prominent members of the tech community to sign their name onto this. A code of conduct, authored by me, that pledges them to a universal ethos, which I created, that I call, "tech ethics," or, "tethics" for short. — Gavin Belson, 2018
