I switched over since I heard it was more privacy friendly than YouTube and have been using the platform for a while without issues, but this cookie banner just popped up. You can opt-out of things like “Access precise geolocation data” but a lot of other information is still shared by third parties and not opt-outable.

It seems “Reject All” is the correct choice here, but I’m not sure if it is the best choice for browser users who have to constantly log back into their accounts.

Advertiser’s love this one trick, i am surprised no one has yet created some JS to swap the buttons around on_click

Or just skip it entirely, I use the Consent-O-Matic extension which has a surprising amount of features.

Making the internet usable again. Without this and ublock, I might quit the whole thing.
