If you've used a VPN with YouTube recently, you've definitely seen this screen:

If you're not filling out a captcha, you're required to sign in. For most users, logging in is basically the same as sending a picture of your driver's license. You're not being blocked to stop DDOS attacks, Google has so much infrastructure it's impossible. Why do this? It's to track your data. What are you watching? Where is your home? Where are you watching from? What's your name? We know captchas are spyware by themselves as well:
The technology doesn't even work. It's purely designed to dox you. I have to fill out a captcha when I use Google even without a VPN because my browser blocks too much. If you want to avoid this, you have to turn off your VPN and use a more cucked browser.
Official streaming platforms are degrading in different ways: Netflix has been taking measures against password sharing, an inverse of their previous position explicitly encouraging it. Amazon no longer has ad-free Prime movies, you have to pay extra-extra for that feature now. Privacy-wise, you doxed yourself by paying them money online. If I could pay in cash digitally, I would.
Another concerning area is the AI-sphere; this isn't isolated to videos and streaming. Go to any small AI-content site. What do they require?




Why does every "literally who" AI company have a login system with Google, Apple, Microsoft, Facebook, Discord, etc? Why does Suno need my phone number?
It's to dox you, plain and simple. They want you the person identified and prohibited from using their service if you make it say nigger.
Gradually every digital company is adopting some methodology to force you to link your real identity to their service while degrading the service itself. They do this either through transactions or bombarding you with sign-ins, captchas, and demands for your identity. This is becoming the entire internet.
When you make me dox myself to use your service, I'm not going to do it, I'm going to find a way to pirate the content or I'll just quit viewing it. You've made the free path the easiest and the only one that preserves my privacy. I trust my torrent client more than I trust Amazon or Google. My torrent client won't sell my credit card data to Indian scammers or the government, and it won't track my purchase history at Walmart. What reason have you given me to pull out my credit card?
