    do you know what makes them even more money? Making you pay, and then selling your data anyway!

    You CANNOT opt out of data collection from youtube. Just pay them or they’ll put an absurd amount of ads to the point it’s not usable anymore.

      Right, and that’s exactly what I said. Though Google specifically doesn’t really need to sell your data. They just use it themselves to advertise to you.
