    YouTube sponsorship is the major use of VPNs. Hiding your IP does nothing to mitigate user tracking by application/hardware finger printing, tracking of users logged into a service, or tracking of user activity with cookies.

      I know there are so many other ways they are tracking people. There was one discovered they put a list of I think 500 top sites and they could identify people with I think it was 90% accuracy, just by telling which sites they visited because the links turn purple. I these are the ones discovered, so they where doing this before people found out what else are the doing that nobody knows about yet.
