The fact that someone makes money spying on me doesn't make it illegal for me to take countermeasures.
If your business is taking pictures of people on the street and I decide to wear a baseball cap and sunglasses, you're just out of luck.
- fullarr 3y agoThis is a weak argument because YouTube isn't a public street it's a private business You aren't forced to use it, it is a choice And this application (FreeTube) is for the sole purpose of circumventing their (YouTube) monetization for the sake of convenience I don't have a dog in the fight and I'm certainly not a fan of YouTube or Google, but you can't argue it's somehow ok just because you dislike ads or lack of privacy on a "free" video streaming website
