I switched over since I heard it was more privacy friendly than YouTube and have been using the platform for a while without issues, but this cookie banner just popped up. You can opt-out of things like “Access precise geolocation data” but a lot of other information is still shared by third parties and not opt-outable.

It seems “Reject All” is the correct choice here, but I’m not sure if it is the best choice for browser users who have to constantly log back into their accounts.

    Shout out to that time I manually unchecked 100+ legitimate interests only to then hit “Accept All” instead of save 💀

        Or just skip it entirely, I use the Consent-O-Matic extension which has a surprising amount of features.

      Gotta love dark patterns. Or when you’re about to click reject all, but then a page element conveniently loads in and makes you click accept.
