I think comparing a full fleshed surveillance police state like the UK with Germany isn‘t the most upright of arguments. The UK grands much fewer personal rights and is further down the fascist pipeline I‘d say.

Why on earth would I want that? It‘s a fate I wouldn‘t wish on my worst enemy.
The Genie will turn you into a Genie and you will loathe your immortality as an eternal slave really quickly.
Germany should probably consider expelling all US troops stationed in Germany in response and make a public announcement that this is being discussed at least. You can‘t just sit still when a supposedly close ally suddenly slaps the door at you.
It‘s a two sided blade, but I get what you mean.
On one hand monetization is the thing that ruins platforms for me because it invites grifters and even decent people are becoming obsessed with numbers. Most people see content creation only as a career path and not something to do for fun anymore. I find that depressing at times.
On the other hand we currently live in a capitalist world and have to play by those rules to some extend. I learned most of the things I do for a living from Youtube because professionals do Blender tutorials as a side gig or even for a living. There probably wouldn‘t be nearly as much knowledge out there without this motivator. Or at least not in this form that is easy to understand for me. The official Blender documentation usually isn‘t the first place I‘m searching through when I have a problem.
So I see where you‘re coming from but it‘s a fine line between helpful and loathsome.
Is it possible to show downvotes? I wonder why so few apps have it.
Maybe you should use something else in order to see the larger picture. It‘s hard to know what you really want when you don‘t compare.
Political imprisonment is always bogus.
