    When I click on one of the vids I get this message:

    'YouTube privacy warning
    YouTube (owned by Google) prevents videos from being viewed anonymously. If you play YouTube videos here, Google/YouTube will register it.'

    :rofl: :suicide:

    They keep shooting themselves in the foot trying to keep control. Same with twitter, facebook and all these other centralized corporate garbage. Just gives more incentive and power to the decentralized internet that is coming. :wink:

    Nope, otherwise this 'prevents videos from being viewed anonymously' wouldn't make sense. :winker:

    Not much will change unless people stop uploading to Youtube and use other video platforms.
    Youtube also has become technically inferior, it has become rather buggy lately, often requiring several tries until a video starts playing.

    I don`t want my children to grow up watching videos on YouTube.

    I want them to be playing with others and having them experience nature.
    I want to read books for them, play music with them, paint with them...

    So, who is this guy? An educator? No, a business owner, as he states at 7.35.
    At 7.50 he explains where his company spend most of the money...
    At 8.00 he explain his motives...target adds...money...:dont:
    Just another sucker...really!

    Have you seen any of his work before posting this video?
    How can I be for or against something without any reference?

    What`s your point in posting this video? Are they taking your children`s freedom ???...

    Reminds me of an oldie but goodie...

    It is just a "friendly reminder" (by duckduckgo), that duckduckgo can't "anonymize" the streaming of YT/Google videos on their page.

    It gives you 2 options - wanna watch it here (we will forward some ID data to YT) or, wanna got to YT site (where data will be collected anyway).

    Short, it warns you you're leaving the no-track zone. duckduckgo does this for other stuff also.. did I say duckduckgo...;)

    You can also watch YT through invidio.us . It plays videos direct from googlevideo, bypassing YT. All it forwards is your IP.
