I just click on x on the upper right corner and video plays

YEs and some YT creators even add bonus videos.

Ublock is good so far for me too. If they ban it then I guess I will have more free time to spare :D

Many channels I watch are on Nebula as well - that one is paid but it's yearly 15$ or so. You can get it bundled with curiosity stream. Some channels upload to rumble, but I am not familiar with that platform. Then there is odysee... it's kinda all over the place. There are channels that upload on odysee, but I don't like the crypto bullshit that is associated with that platform. The other thing not only with odysee but all new smaller platforms - they are a good place for all the scummy outcast that gets filtered on YT. I try not to read comments otherwise I would have to puke.

Maybe at least a portion of people will realize they should not entrust anything personal to an advertisement company and use an actual mail/storage/etc provider instead.

Yes, you are correct it is not only google but all the big tech. You are missing very important word here - based in US. My point is that those big companies were very reluctant to handle that data even if it was later proven unconstitutional.
For example service like Lavabit rather closed their operation than handing over your data. There were companies actually fighting this garbage instead of providing direct infrastructure for NSA to come and go when they need something.

But back to the original point that with google is your data very safe. That is not true at all. Your data is a lot safer if you choose company which is an actual mail (or other service) provider. With this you have an actual contract that will say they cannot handle your data for commercial purposes - you are the customer not a product and part of their side hustle. That puts google on the bottom of the list. On top of that you can pick one based in EU and now you are protected even by GDPR and NSA cannot do whatever they want. Of course if you are a shady character you data will be handed over, but in a correct manner. Nowadays secure mail providers are moving to a model where all your data is e2e encrypted and even they have no access to it so if they get a breach, the attacker has nothing. If 3 letter agency asks for something, they will get maybe timestamps in epoch. Those are the most secure services not google.

Dunno... heard something about a guy names Snowden?

Plot twist: It definitely isn't.

Yeah... like it matters if your data gets thrown around anyway. They sell and share it with third parties without you knowing which and what security practices they use. I rather pay for a product that includes my privacy being protected.

Yes, that is what I meant. Google/Alphabet are companies living off selling personal data. That is a big no no no no nooo.
