I created a google takeout and in that zip file I found some files containing a ton of data about me. It has logged every single page I visited while using the google search engine and chrome browser. It even logged every single time I opened an app on my old android phone. It even has VOICE RECORDINGS of me and a log of every time I used google assistant. This is just some of the data and I’m very sure there is even more data they have.
I just deleted my google account. Bye YouTube comments.
I wish I could just delete it. I’m still figuring out things with nextcloud and I run a youtube channel so I can’t do that yet.
@sidgames5 @trippingonthewire Is there a more privacy-friendly option (non-data siphoning) for video hosting?
If the only reason you’re keeping it is to make and post YouTube videos, it doesn’t sound like you wish you could delete it.
You could create an Odysee channel perhaps, and try to migrate there. Then you’re supporting competition.
Wish I could do that too but my email is still tied to some accounts where I can’t change it
You can’t change the email you use? Are you open to deleting those accounts, and maybe making new ones? Or saying goodbye to those platform’s for good? Customer service could help you change emails, perhaps.
You’re really not missing out. I swear 90% of the youtube comments I end up getting are from hardcore nazis.
