    Its weird that you are okay with some company doing this.

    When if it was some stalker you’d be freeking out and going to the police and begging for help.

      Because a stalker might actually cause you physical harm, while Google/YouTube just wants money, and not necessarily your money. I have no love for the ad supported business model, I’m definitely not defending it, but you’re not going to convince someone who doesn’t value privacy to care about it.

        People who don’t value privacy, are always the ones that cry the loudest and say such iconic phrases like “WHO LET THIS HAPPEN” when their privacy inevitably gets violated.

      ATTENTION STALKERS!!!
      This morning I watched a video of a guy making a 5 drawer cabinet out of plywood on my Pixel 6 XL from my home. I skipped the last 30 seconds of the video because I got bored.

        I get it that marketing doesn’t bother you, but several tech companies have been found to give direct access to users’ data to their employees, who used it in all sorts of creepy ways.

        GPS location please.

        Obviously I don’t want to know it but be sure there’s hundreds of Google employees that can freely access it.

        Congrats, you’ve already made hacking your phone 10x easier by telling a potential attacker what model you use.
