I gave up caring years ago when I realized it was way too late to undo it all. If Google really cares that I'm a gamer then oh well, at least my ad blockers work just fine and I use Firefox so that's good enough.

I just deleted my google account. Bye YouTube comments.
I wish I could just delete it. I'm still figuring out things with nextcloud and I run a youtube channel so I can't do that yet.
@sidgames5 @trippingonthewire Is there a more privacy-friendly option (non-data siphoning) for video hosting?

Google knows where I've been for the last 10 years. If you use their service they are going to keep all the data and interactions from using it.
How do you know all this? Did you request your data from Google?
Omg I shoul do that too
