Sometimes I really want to just delete a post but I think thats a bit heavy-handed and I keep hoping theres a way to simply mute it so its not disrupting me when I've moved on from it but dont want to invalidate all the repliers and also posterity

Do you guys have any recommendations for more privacy respecting YouTube frontend for iOS? YouTube Lite Plus has been good so far but I'm not sure how effective that no tracking thing is. I've also seen on Reddit Yattee and BluePlayer. Anything else? I can sideload it if it's not avaliable in the App Store. It would be nice if it also had features like SponsorBlock.

The reason is simple: an increase in immigration enforcement, including high-profile ICE raids, shook Texas farm workers to their core. The news filtered fast that workers—regardless of legal status—chose safety over a salary.

Farmers, who had been working with their crews for decades, described the loss as “devastating” and “unprecedented.” This is alarming as most farms are founded upon immigrant labor, both legal and illegal, creating a domino effect for the food system as a whole.

. . . When farm workers vanish, the effects are felt far beyond the fields. Livestock is untended, crops go unpicked, food production declines, and food prices dramatically increase. In Texas alone, where specialty vegetables and fruits must be hand-picked, worker shortages jeopardize entire harvest seasons.

This results in fewer foods on grocery store shelves, higher prices for families nationwide, and a greater reliance on imports. Threads on Reddit and YouTube are already predicting price hikes and empty produce shelves.
