It’s a paid service, wtf is this BS
Their final reply:
I wanted to reach out as a followup to your earlier request. I spoke with some members of our product team, and it would actually appear as though we don’t currently support users opting out of that particular clause in our terms of service. I also wanted to let you know that we don’t currently share user info with third parties for advertising, and as far as I can tell, we have no roadmapped plans for doing so in the future.
It says I can opt out, but why is it in there in the first place? I don’t see any setting to opt out either, have to write them an email. How would I know if it got toggled on again?
Really odd for a paid service trying to get away from YouTube which gets its revenue through ads
Use PeerTube, or NewPipe. They’re free, open source, and NewPipe even allows you to watch YouTube videos.
I’m a heavy NewPipe user. I wanted to support creators and also help build something else.
I’m just disappointed to see this clause after they complained about the YT algorithm which is a direct result of introducing ads
