Actually, I bet if everyone did refuse, and let their account dormant for a couple of weeks, you would suddenly see American Big Tech transforming into the fiercest defender of your privacy rights, using their powerful network of lobbyists to fight these invasive government regulations.
They need you more than you need them.
Force them to work for your rights.
Do not comply. -

@rhelune @codinghorror @Em0nM4stodon I can see having a long-term account if you're uploading videos, but I only watch on there so it's not a big deal to make a new account every so often (I keep YouTube in its own container)

@rhelune @codinghorror @Em0nM4stodon fwiw I updated my notes on containerizing and cleaning up YouTube. No more algorithmically-recommended "AI" slop everywhere, "engagement" rat holes closed up https://blog.zgp.org/youtube-cleanup/

@dmarti @rhelune @codinghorror @Em0nM4stodon Tried FreeTube? It makes subscribing to accounts for new videos easier than YouTube does IMO.
