Congrats!

The only thing that's stopping me from doing the same are:

  1. some email redirects (for some reason, I can't update the emails on those services)
  2. a shonen jump subscription (for some reason, there is no option to subscribe to them directly so I have to do it through google play store ๐Ÿ™„)

I did move on from Youtube however, by moving my subscriptions to an RSS feed and storing my "watch later" links using Linkding (a bookmark manager). I sort of alluded to this in a recent comment: https://sh.itjust.works/comment/19041626
