A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

I'm guessing that alternative front ends (piped, FreeTube, whatever) don't give YouTube the same metrics they would get if I was using YouTube directly? I will continue to deny them the data they so desire.
I don't even mind paying for YouTube, but if I do that, I don't want Google logging and data-mining me, and AFAICT, that's not on offer with the existing YouTube Premium service -- just lets Google link that to financial data.
Right now, I believe that they just offer ad-free service.
