The problem is that those of use who care about privacy, are aware that the data is being collected in many ways, not all of them obvious. If you could prove that you aren't collecting any data, I might consider. However, there is no way for you to prove it - especially since you need to identify me in order to "protect my privacy" .... E.g. when one pays for YouTube to avoid ads, one gets tracked just as well (or better, since you can't even use it "logged out" if you don't want ads). The only winning move is not to play.
