But this is even dumber than before, you can't even login to bypass. What about people living in a country where youtube is blocked. I guess Google just says "fuck 'em"?
Yyep.
If you're using a VPN, you're likely anonymized and not directly making YouTube any money. Those are leeches, as far as a Google accountant is concerned.
They said logging in doesn't make it go away. Being logged in means they can already track you, so this is pretty ridiculous of them tbh.
Being logged in means they can track what you watch. Being logged in via a VPN means they can't track your location.
Literally valuable information.
Yes, 100%, absokutely correct.
Google is a company.
Companies do not care about you. You are not a person, you are a number.
Google is a ~~company~~ multi-billion dollar corporation.
~~Companies~~ Multi-billion dollar corporations do not care about you. You are not a person, you are a number.
(Well ok, there is plenty of small business who also don't care about you, that's not my point).
Trillion*
You can count the number of companies this rich on one hand.
I see. I havent had a Google account for like 8 years, so i didnt notice the difference.
A few days ago I gotta message from google saying they "can't verify my age" (meaning they want gov ID I'm sure) so I'm forced to use safe search and other stuff too.
Fuck. That!
Why is YouTube blocked?
Authoritarianism.
Free access to "radical" ideas doesn't bode well with conservative governments.
Probably part of the age verification bullshit
