Could you provide more info? On what grounds?
I do not believe that is the case. Youtube ads are an insanely profitable business. I suspect throwing a couple dozen of FTEs on blocking ad blockers would be <1% of current revenue.
If you are absolutely concerned with privacy and knowledgeable with computers then self hosting FOSS software from your own instance is the best option to maintain control of your data.
Well, only partially. Unless you are sharing that instance with a good amount of people, you’d still be tracked all the same. If you configure i.e. SearX to use multiple tracking search engines, multiply so.
You actually would not. The content of the post can stay but the username/identifier has to be removed. Written text is not PII to my knowledge and every social platforms I’ve actively used only delete the identifier (Reddit, GitHub).
Yeah, like, I press upvote and I get no spinner. How crazy is that?!
Great job devs :)
The e-privacy directive is not a thing yet.
