They’re especially greedy when you consider they are not only the most profitable of all their competitors (Netflix/Disney Plus/Hulu/etc), but that they’re unique in that they’re the only one who doesn’t fund creating any content at all.

At least the other companies put tons of money producing content alongside their other stuff. YouTube just lets others do that for them and then takes all the profit.

So how does YouTube really justify their costs for premium with zero production costs and the largest profit margin?

I knew Honey was sketchy, but I just assumed it made it’s money from just data harvesting everything

Just disable everything on your phone right now down to the essentials. If you’re on Android, there’s a lot of really minimalist 3rd party launchers like Niagara launcher that can improve the minimalist experience as well. You’d basically mimic the light phone at that point while still having every upside and be able to selectively enable and disable what you’re asking.

You don’t need to pay for an overpriced phone to take your choices away. You can find the will power to just disable it on your current phone.

Who are “they”?

Please let them get royally fucked over copyright laws. That’s not how they work.

Reminder that verification laws do not work and are straight up fascist.

Session tokens are valid because they come from the service themselves, that’s how they know they’re good.

That doesn’t work here because if there’s no identifying information in this token from a 3rd party service (the ID verification service), then it is useless because it can simply be reused by everyone.

So you’d have to create a unique one for each site, which would involve the login website and verification service to link to each other, which is extremely privacy violating.

If it is NOT unique (ex: anonymous person request verification for site A), then that service can reuse that verification token and break it. So identifying the sites together is required for this to work and is a massive issue.

The solution is simple on-device parental controls and have the browser flag this. Yes it can be cheated just like “are you 18+?” prompts, and that’s how it should be.

It’s also important to point out that you’re saying social media. ID verification would not stop there, it would then be used for sites like porn, which nonsense laws have already passed for this without proper solutions. Which the government should have zero business seeing what legal porn you watch, nor is there anything wrong with porn that it should be banned.

First off, how can you possibly trust any 3rd party with that information and whatever you’re browsing. Secondly, as soon as you show a statement to this company, that is privacy invasive right there. Also how do you know they’re securely processing this and deleting it when they’re done? This is where is becomes insecure and creates a surveillance state.

No it’s not. It’s literally impossible, that’s the issue.

That buggy trash is still alive?

That’s a load of shit lol, also there’s absolutely nothing good that can be drawn from these conclusions. All this can achieve is political pundits some ammo to cry about on their shows.

What is that sketchy ass site lol. Did you just link malware? Also it reads like an alien wrote that, none of that made sense. What a weird site.

Cool but the proper solution is that they shouldn’t have access to this data at all. It should be either stored locally, or encrypted on their servers. Companies not being able to access their consumer data should be the default.

Except those people tied themselves to the track and started the train themselves… Completely voluntarily.

ya know some things just are better not being fact checked, don’t ruin the vibe

Why would you need to host this? Why not just have a client that does backups?

Wow are the graphics absolutely gorgeous

I tried and couldn’t find it on my system. I run Linux btw.
