Not 100% in agreement with some of her videos, but I believe this one is spot on, and probably easier to understand by regular folk.

So you want me to visit one of the greatest surveillance capitalist and privacy abusers video website to get tips on how to help people understand why privacy is important? Yah, about that. No.

Wow, grouchy indeed. If you don’t already use a YouTube front-end you only have yourself to blame. Any YouTube link I click redirects to my preferred front-end (FreeTube via invidious). I haven’t given YouTube a single bit of traffic and still get to watch any video I want. It takes 5 minutes to set it all up at the most.

Come to think of it, make some VM’s spin up each with a different identity to monkey wrench it all.

You don’t like the Piped bot?

Here is an alternative Piped link(s):

Piped is a privacy-respecting open-source alternative frontend to YouTube.

I’m open-source; check me out at GitHub.
