Opting out of the 'new' youtube stuff

[primsong]

I just checked my profile/acct. info at youtube and found they'd sprinkled it with yet MORE ticky-boxes that they had helpfully checked for me (like the "Yes I want advertising..."). I recommend anyone else who hates the concept of 'tailored advertising' (i.e. spying on what you look at and where you go) may also want to do a few updates and opt-outs.

*grumble*

Yes, it was most thoughtful of them to tick the ticky boxes for you! Facebook was doing that kind of thing to me all the time (hence one my reasons for getting out of there). Very sad that YouTube is going that way.

But youtube also has this to make up for it:

I don't do youtube, but I'll mention it to the bf, who does. Thanks for the heads-ups!
