Hi,

I was wondering about the services I can’t boycott. Youtube being one.

If youtubes value is my usage data, can I obfuscate their data by liking things I don’t really care about, changing my info, and get irrelevant ads, thus making the advertising product less effective and valuable?

And create some doubt about value in the mind of advertisers in the proces?

I’m not dumb enough to think it matters if only I do it. But if it was a movement?

    Maybe try FreeTube, and not only block ads but keep your preferences (subscriptions etc) out of their data-ravenous hands.
