Is there a way to block specific users from viewing my YouTube channel? (self.youtube)

Seriously, I have a stalker and I CAN'T HELP posting videos about where I am and what I'm doing, and I have a feeling I'm going to need a gun to protect myself from this guy.

I'd rather just block him from ever seeing my videos.

How would that work? Even if there was a way to block them, they could just go on youtube without logging in, or with a different account to watch your videos.

And I mean, that's just a stalker you know about. If you have enough viewers, there are also going to be others you don't know about, so doing the classic "don't post too much information about yourself on the internet" would still be a good idea, even if there was a way to block that specific viewer.

If you absolutely need to upload everything you do, maybe do it with a time delay, so the stalker only ever knows where you were, not where you are.

yeah, that's what I've been doing for the last few years but the hard part is now I'm in one place and I'll be here for a while.

Assuming this isn't a troll post (I am about 85% it is) learn some opsec to not give away private information while online. Don't say exactly where you are, say you are at an event in $city

You could always delay the video. Record it while at the event than post the video a few days later when you aren't there.

Why do you think I would be making this shit up? Are you one of those cynical people who thinks that r/nothingeverhappens?

And where do you pull your percentages from? Your ass?

As to your other points, Yes you are right, I'm just so sick of stifling my life to keep creeps at bay. Creeps are everywhere. I'm tired of stifling my life. How dare they make everyone live in fear. They should all be in prison for creating a hostile environment everywhere they lurk. Let the good people run free in the world. Let the oppressors rot in prison.
