Final(ish) form yall what do we rate the stickers chat?

It's never done that before so I looked it up and turns out Roku TVs have added all sorts of creepy things in the privacy section since I last checked.

One of which being they take screenshots from what you're watching and send them to third parties to identify it.

Fucking hell! Remember when every fucking device in your life wasn't a spy implanted in your home and working against your interests to try and sell your data? Remember how nice that was??

Remember when the TV was just a tool that would play the things you plugged into it?

1) Figured this out.

This post talks about a new DM feature in youtube. What it fails to mention is that as part of this new feature is that when you send someone a link to a video, and they open it in the youtube app, they will see who sent them the link. Specifically, your channel name.

If your google account name is your real name, so is your channel name by default.

This means the new default behavior is that everyone you send a youtube link to will see your full name if they open it in the mobile app.

To turn this off:

Go to your youtube app settings

Go to Privacy

Turn off "Channel visibility for shared links"

both Spotify and YouTube have either ?si=kfhdheuuehdjd or &si=kfhdheuuehdjd in their links when you push the share button.

REMOVE ALL OF THIS!!!

with YouTube, sometimes the link will be youtube.com/watch?v=jhhehhdehhe which is fine, but if it's followed by the &si=...., remove that part!!!

This lets the apps track who you send links to AND shows your username (USUALLY YOUR REAL NAME) in the DMs feature of the platform

When opening YouTube links, please circumcise them before opening them or the person who sent it might be able to see your name too!!
