They don’t just keep track of what videos you watch, they also keep track of what parts of those videos, as well as everything you search for and everything you begin to search for but never actually do. They also keep track of where you are when you watch the video and what device you are watching it on.

It is for those of us who care about our privacy. I for one don’t want nebulous corporations with questionable ethics and data security policies knowing and tracking my every movement. And while yes, I recognize that to a certain extent that is unavoidable in this day and age, I don’t condone it nor do I want it to be easy for them.
My reply is consistent with every other comment I’ve made in this thread. Google offers me useful services in exchange for my information. You offer nothing.
Its weird that you are okay with some company doing this.
When if it was some stalker you’d be freeking out and going to the police and begging for help.
ATTENTION STALKERS!!!
This morning I watched a video of a guy making a 5 drawer cabinet out of plywood on my Pixel 6 XL from my home. I skipped the last 30 seconds of the video because I got bored.
I get it that marketing doesn’t bother you, but several tech companies have been found to give direct access to users’ data to their employees, who used it in all sorts of creepy ways.

People today are just too comfortable with the death of privacy and corporations spying what you do day in and day out.
Everything about us is up for grabs but god forbid anyone watches a meme without monetization.
Give me your current location, list of immediate interests and last 100 searched queries, if you’re so okay with that.
Of course, I don’t expect an obvious corporate shill to have any intellectual honesty.
What are you offering in return? Google gives me what I consider to be valuable services in exchange for that information.
I.e. you do care, so your position is bullshit.

GPS location please.
Obviously I don’t want to know it but be sure there’s hundreds of Google employees that can freely access it.

Congrats, you’ve already made hacking your phone 10x easier by telling a potential attacker what model you use.
