Couldn't have said it better myself. Just came off as an agry rather pointless rant to me.

None of these DNS blockers have ever worked on YouTube for me, nor any of my other streaming apps.

Honestly the only real solution I've found is to use Ublock Origin in Firefox for Android.

Are paper actually better than plastic if the plastic ones are disposed of properly?

Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't that only the text server?

That could very well be true; I hoped to have phrased my comment in a way that would bring across my uncertainty :)

How many people still use TVs these days? Everyone I know don't even own one anymore, though my friends circle might not be that representative of society as a whole.

Practically every UK household.

I know some people without a TV but that's because they choose not to consume mass media, we've done it in the past.

Where do you live? Presumably your circle still consume mainstream media but do so via laptop/desktop/handhelds?

What about the problem that solar also needs batteries?

I have the same problem. If anybody has any good resources, please let me know.
