I digitally sterilised by great aunt’s tablet. Removed YouTube. Removed Google’s slop news feed. Switched her browser to brave (no ads) and search engine to duckduckgo. Put on more sensible news outlets like the BBC and ITV.

Now she’s complaining that it’s “just not as good as it used to be”.

My great aunt is going into slop withdrawal.

        Yes. Who are you to decide what they watch and what they don’t? Op even decided on news sources. I thought this was obvious. Would you like her to come and decide what you get to watch and read too?

            If she is always getting scammed, she will ask for help. If she doesn’t, its her money and her problem

        Do not mess with an elderlycs tech if you are not willing to be always present and patient to fix any complain.

        Some people actually care about their family members, sorry if that’s an abstract concept to you.
