I can confirm. Updated on my laptop and every extension works so far.

The announcement comes after Twitter announced across-the-board job cuts earlier on Thursday, with plans to lay off 9 percent of its workforce, which equals about 350 people. The company also said in a letter to shareholders that it was going to prioritize some parts of its business, while deprioritizing others.

Twitter was financially in a bad shape for a long time, the first year they generated some profit was 2018. Source Vine existed 2012-2017, I think they couldn't figure out how to monetize it. Twitter was a text based platform, tiktok was designed for video from conception.

But I still don't know why they didn't try to sell it instead of shutting it down.

Coub was also nearly shut down in 2022, it seems like it's hard to profitably maintain a short video service.

One more thing could have an important impact was music rights. Tiktok has special deals with record labels for background music, Coub was Russian, so they could just pirate music. Streaming wasn't big back than, only spotify existed, labels couldn't figure yet out how to milk internet users, so I guess Vine couldn't get as good deals as it would now. Too early, too legal.

They collect location of their users but anonimize every data on device, they can't track anyone personally. They also sell their SDK to businesses and collect data from there as well.

No. It means they get the data from somewhere else, maybe from some carsharing app, or from some government db from car counting thingies mounted on traffic lights, etc. There are other sources to get traffic data ftom, but usually following users is more convenient and reliable

They wont tell us where they get it from, they only say it's not generated via this app. They are followimg someone, but not me.

Black box. If you use Gnome, highly recommended.

We have Tissot's indicatrix to display this kind of distortion, much more universally usable than this random circle. Check wikipedia for examples, scroll down: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tissot%27s_indicatrix

I found that I can also work it around with piped, this works: https://piped.privacydev.net/watch?v=ed7O0mhiJYs

Where is the pipedbot when it would be useful?

There was an update recenty ( I dont remember when) , and the current one is usable. I remember it was terrible, it had scaling issues, now it's alright for me.

There is also a barebone third party android app: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.kpots.netdata

Blokada is a VPN based adblocker, but Adaway can work as a hosts file based blocker, if the phone is rooted. Hosts file based blocking uses zero cpu cycles, as it's a feature of the network stack, it's just a file containing list of addresses to redirect, so it should use less battery than blokada. By default on all OSes this hosts file is not editable by regular users, that's why you need root. Wikipedia article about hosts file
