(YouTube always cries about ad blockers and 3rd party frontends hurting their business, but then they hurt the business of alt platforms, because they hate competition...)
(For those who have YouTube, Odysee and PeerTube channel, you can still use PeerTube's sync feature to sync videos from Odysee, like I've been doing for a while (I don't have a YouTube channel))

(Krita fanboys (including myself) gonna say Krita is still better lol)
(Just joking, I think GIMP gets much better with those new features, and of course which one is better depends on use case)
