VPNs aren’t hard to detect, especially if you’re using a major service.
Feel sorry for the guy in the datacenter using Netflix on his brake.
using Netflix on his brake.
Offering Xzibit some new ideas
Yo dawg, we heard you like Netflix so we put Netflix on yo brakes so when you brake you can watch Netflix, dawg,
100% this, I work in cyber sec and it’s very easy these days for services to detect this.
What about TOR browser?
That’s even easier. The list of exit nodes is public.
“This will allow Youtube to locate the best content” 🤡
It’s so insulting they add flavour text like this as if to call you a fucking moron to your face
“We know what’s best for you”
this pipe looks kinda new
The “best content” being ip-located ads, probably.
This isnt new. Its been happening for years. There is a post about this on lemmy every few weeks. It just doesnt happen consistently, so people always think that they “discovered” this for the first time.
But this is even dumber than before, you can’t even login to bypass. What about people living in a country where youtube is blocked. I guess Google just says “fuck 'em”?
I see. I havent had a Google account for like 8 years, so i didnt notice the difference.

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.
Well, they need to make sure the right people are watching the right propaganda.
good. fuck VPNs (other than for business purposes)
What’s wrong with VPNs for personal use? Serious question; I’ve never seen someone opposed to them.
people use them to mask their identity and attack others online
You sound scared. You don’t have to be online if there is too much risk of you getting your feelings hurt, you can just go touch grass. Even the people you don’t like have a right to privacy.
I think alot of people online need to touch grass.
I think you should probably take your own advice.
i do touch a lot of grass. just cut the lawn today, front and back.
im sorry sir you need to hand over all your knives because LUNATICS use them to attack others also put this straitjacket on while youre doing so, as MANIACS use their fists to attack others
What’s your real name and address?
Seems like you’re using 1985MustangCobra to mask your identity. We should ban all online usernames and tie everything to a digital Id
that’s not the same, if i was commit a hate crime for example, on this profile, and the police investigated it, they can get my ip address from my client connection. however, someone doing the same and masking their ip address with a VPN to like, i dunno, sweeden but they live in the UK, is a big problem when VPN providers make bold claims of “protecting your identity”
so you want the government to be able to geolocate anybody? alright reddit, this one escaped
