    What about people living in a country where youtube is blocked. I guess Google just says “fuck 'em”?

    Yyep.

    If you’re using a VPN, you’re likely anonymized and not directly making YouTube any money. Those are leeches, as far as a Google accountant is concerned.

      They said logging in doesn’t make it go away. Being logged in means they can already track you, so this is pretty ridiculous of them tbh.

        Being logged in means they can track what you watch. Being logged in via a VPN means they can’t track your location.

        Literally valuable information.
