I noticed my consumption has decased quite a bit. I would visit regularly to watch content from few channels. I would probably still visit every so often to watch the new videos. But the experience has become more deliberate and conscious. I go to YouTube because I want to go and watch something specific. Mindlessly browsing and watching additional content is harder.
This is good progress from Google to get off their platform :)
Major bugs usually get fixed pretty quickly- I always install the latest version from GitHub when I have issues. And Invidious can work as an alternative most of the time, but some instances work better than others
