Comment on YouTube isn't happy you're using ad blockers — and it's doing something about it

They don’t just keep track of what videos you watch, they also keep track of what parts of those videos, as well as everything you search for and everything you begin to search for but never actually do. They also keep track of where you are when you watch the video and what device you are watching it on.

OMG, the horror…

It is for those of us who care about our privacy. I for one don’t want nebulous corporations with questionable ethics and data security policies knowing and tracking my every movement. And while yes, I recognize that to a certain extent that is unavoidable in this day and age, I don’t condone it nor do I want it to be easy for them.

  People today are just too comfortable with the death of privacy and corporations spying what you do day in and day out.
  
  Everything about us is up for grabs but god forbid anyone watches a meme without monetization.

Give me your current location, list of immediate interests and last 100 searched queries, if you’re so okay with that.

Of course, I don’t expect an obvious corporate shill to have any intellectual honesty.

  What are you offering in return? Google gives me what I consider to be valuable services in exchange for that information.

    I.e. you do care, so your position is bullshit.

    My reply is consistent with every other comment I’ve made in this thread. Google offers me useful services in exchange for my information. You offer nothing.
