  • While this is true, it’s not difficult to verify. You can inspect the network traffic through your router from that device and see whether it’s communicating more often or with larger data packets while you’re talking near but not to it.

    That could be obfuscated with a powerful enough device that’s able to maintain the user profile locally and by sending the full profile each time, or by trickling the information out bit by bit as part of a regular heartbeat traffic, but that would require more expensive hardware and would eat up a lot more bandwidth.

    Not impossible, but not undetectable either. I’m willing to bet that studies have been done.

    Skepticism is good but without thinking through it, experimenting, or doing research to back it up it’s just paranoia. Conversely you could say my trust that others would have looked into it is naive.



  • You’re in a fantasy world fighting straw men of your own creation, dividing and attacking amongst those that oppose Trump. You’re a “vote blue no matter who” boiling frog who is more eager to attack the people demanding more from both parties than to stand up alongside your leftist brothers and sisters fighting fascism.

    You’re a vote-obsessed political agnostic who doesn’t understand that progress and political action don’t start and end at upvotes and paper ballots. You’re crying with your tail between your legs waiting for the fascist to let you vote again.

    Your contributions aren’t needed or useful. Your divisive and confrontational attitude towards those left of you is helping Trump at least as much if not more than those you’re criticizing.

    If an Arab American or someone with actual loved ones who are dying in Palestine or someone who otherwise can’t bring themselves to vote for genocide enablement chose to vote for neither red nor blue they’re not my enemy, Trump and his kind and people like you who enable Democrat complacency and the ratchet effect are my enemy.

    If you cowards joined those you mock in ACTUAL political action the Democrats wouldn’t all be neutered 100 year olds.








  • The problems with that feed which he touched on in the video are pretty significant. If you subscribe to channels that put out lots of content and ones that rarely do, it becomes much harder to use.

    One thing he didn’t mention is also that it’s not conducive to discovering and gradually catching up on the back catalogue of a new channel, which is something the home feed excels at.

    I’m sure YouTube prefers you use the home feed and has no plans to improve subscriptions, and there are real issues with it, so it’ll probably continue to decline.
