I gave up caring years ago when I realized it was way too late to undo it all. If Google really cares that I'm a gamer then oh well, at least my ad blockers work just fine and I use Firefox so that's good enough.
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.
