Anecdotally a lot of people I know, especially older people, don't know how to properly use the internet without google. Google is the default search engine on chrome, the most popular browser, and most of these people don't know how to change the default.

I have a Surface Pro (2017), which comes with W10 Pro by default, and I can confidently say that Windows 10 Pro still nags the user.

The most prominent example is the full screen nags that, although can be skipped, use dark patterns to trick the user into changing settings.

Since I use windows with a local user account, instead of a Microsoft account, it often nags me to switch. Even when using a Microsoft account to sign in it still nags to set a pin to log in, instead of just using a password. I haven't found any setting to disable these permanently.

Windows 10 LTSC is probably the best option, although I haven't tried it personally.

AFAIK this site only uses DHT (Distributed Hash Table) sniffing to track IPs.

Disable DHT in the torrent client settings.

People keep comparing this to tiktok. On paper, yes, they are similar. They are both platforms for short form video content.

In reality Byte's six second limit, and focus on loopabilty, restricts the versatility of the platform.
