For context, this popped up as I went to the youtube homepage. This is absurd. Of course, I have uBlock Origin, so it doesn't matter to me regardless, but there's no way to say no.

That's actually a great way of viewing it. Feels like an abusive relationship. Reminds me of Windows.

It is abusive. They react exactly the same way an abusive partner does when you try to leave the relationship.

Also, if an individual person collected and compiled data on another person's activities the way they do, we would call that person a stalker. But somehow a massive corporation doing it is OK.
