YouTube cares less for your privacy than its revenues::Ad blockers are firewalls for our sanity – turning them off is madness
“In other news, fire is hot. More at 11!”
What? No shit! That’s crazy. Since when?
No fucking way, what a revelation
Does this surprise anyone?
I don’t think any big corporate company cares about your privacy at all. They just want revenue.
Google was founded to sell your private data for money to pay for services you want. It’s just taken them 15 years to become big enough that their stock holders demand more money than a couple of 5 second ads per video.
They’ll squeeze a couple more bucks out of ads, then they’ll squeeze a couple more out of premium, but not enough people will go past that. They can’t keep pulling profit out of thin air for wall streets demand for perpetual increase.
Sooner or later some of the following will have to happen:
Mandatory login to watch
Users/Content providers pay a premium for quality
Content providers pay for storage
New or low rated content providers pay for hosting until they reach minimum subscribers.
Premium gets unskippable 5 second ads.
No embedding off site.

[Company] cares more about its shareholders and profits more than [the environment, safety, its employees or customers, the economy, etc.] Not sure why this would be a revelation to anyone.
In other news, air contains oxygen.
YouTube cares less for your privacy than its revenues
Duh. It’s a Google product, what do you except?
You can drop Google. Every company maximizes their profits. They only care about you if it helps them.
That’s why I self-host almost everything.
Um welcome to capitalism.
Google and privacy goes together like lithium and water
Well, caring less for your privacy means more revenue for them, so yes.
