I’ve been wondering lately how effective a service would be that takes your credentials for a service, such as YouTube, and starts engaging with content at random so that the data the service has on you is all junk
Don’t know how meaningful something like this would even be, but if all these companies are gonna try so hard to collect data on me then I’d rather fill that data with useless junk
With all the data they collect I wish they would target me with the right ads. I don't want an AI girlfriend, to buy a toyota in spanish, or comemeritive trump merch
Using an ad blocker I get nothing but the types of ads I wanna see; Which is none at all. 😌
