Earlier quoted context omitted.

Jio has enabled a digital revolution, just like Reliance Infocomm did by making all incoming calls free back in 2005 I think. Jio has also made sure that my youtube homepage is filled with soft porn. It is an absolute scourge. WhatsApp rumour mongering has increased a lot with lynchings happening based on the fact that law and order can’t keep up pace with technology. I also see that lots of unemployed people now are…

I think blame lies with Youtube team, for them not able to morderate their default homepage. I distinctly remember same crappy default youtube homepage before Jio also.

Youtube can obviously curate it, but it shows habits of a large population too. Navel videos having 5M+ views... mind boggling.

Still there is no cheap and fast wired broadband in some areas of major cities in India. We tried multiple ISP from our area(one of the major city in India) and they all are bad. Sometimes our wifi does not work for multiple days or its too slow. Finally we decided to use only Jio mobile internet.We face the same issue at our office.

I hope Jio fiber change this situation.
