What constitutes Usage Data. Is it sharing the posts I view, communities I subscribe to etc?

Does paying for a premium version stop this data being collected?

      I am so happy whenever I see people asking more about privacy practices. It makes me feel like the fight is not so hopeless after all.

        I feel the same way. As someone who studies and works in cyber security I love teaching people about how to stay safe or at least as safe as possible.

        Some people don’t go the degree I go to just to keep my stuff secure. I use hardened Arch kernels and I hardly even use arch my entire time I spend on a PC is through a VM. I have 2 computers one just for windows and gaming and then one for Linux and cyber security and coding stuff

        I hate dual booting and do not like windows being close to my Linux install so I keep them separate on two different computers 😂

        Other than doing 3D printing and rendering stuff all I do is study malware and writing my own programs.

      Not for youtube, you can use smarttube for android tv. It has everything, like sponsorblock etc

      Tracker blocking youtube results in new videos not adding to your history, recommendations freezing permanently, youtube just regurgitates the same stuff and seemingly never refreshes
