It works on Android, but I don't believe it works on iOS.
How did he prove he was actually himself? Seems like anyone could have done it with a bit of AI.
Duckduckgo's version is so much better. Unlimited aliases for free.
Smarttube next doesn't require rooting the device, it can be sideloaded. Sideloading is not very complicated. Google is not trying to block any sideloading (at the moment, at least).
There is no way a DDoS on the website in affecting the crawler. Also, running a DDoS attack of this size costs a lot of money (if you rent the network, if you own it it costs money as lost sales). No one is giving AI control over a DDoS network to just fuck around.
If they make one, you'd have to sideload it.
You can configure it per app. And choose your own block lists.
Even with inflation. Answering captchas for 8 hours a day will get you maybe 100$ a month.
Those "jobs" are meant for third world countries. Even then it's a pretty low pay.
Beehaw defederated with lemmy.world and sh.itjust.works because both of those instances allow(ed?) registering without email verification/captcha. They said it is bringing bots and spams. Haven't seen this issue personally. I recommend being a member of an instance that still federates with both lemmy.world/sh.itjust.works and Beehaw.
When using a browser they can get your user agent (https://www.whatsmyua.info) They can also get some information about your device, like pixel resolution, screen size (https://www.whatismyscreenresolution.org), gpu (https://hardwaretester.com/gpu) etc...
All of those data combined make a fingerprint for your browser, that can be more or less unique.
I recommend having a look here for more information about how fingerprinting works and how to protect from it, and to see how "unique" your browser is (https://coveryourtracks.eff.org).
When using an app, it's a whole lot more complicated to escape from it, but one step I can recommend, is to delete your phone advertisement id (https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2022/05/how-disable-ad-id-tracking-ios-and-android-and-why-you-should-do-it-now).
That been said, from my own reddit gdpr export, it doesn't look like reddit is doing any fingerprinting of that sort. I haven't looked so close at it yet, however.
