The under-18 detection is also error prone, seems simpler to me to initiate a gdpr data rrequest, archive it and then make a new account.

I'm sure this time it won't turn into a imperialistic dictatorship.

I have quit cigarettes successfully (for ~10 years now) and found it wasn't too difficult. However, I have known people who could quit indefinitely and pick it back up without issue and people who are going through rounds of quitting, returning, quitting and so forth.

I personally believe there are additional elements involved that could be genetic or psychological.

I'm trying out alternatives fadblock seems to work well enough so far, but this is enshitification.

If it comes to it I'll migrate over to using yt-dlp or disregard YT entirely and find somewhere else. I believe others feel similarly. Ads are not acceptable to me.

Did they get the model to write it's own terms of service and it just threw those in there?

That approach would work until analytics gets mixed in with actual styles and then you're trying to use a website without CSS.

> And not just the bad ones, like Google Analytics. Even Fathom and Plausible analytics struggle with logging activity on adblocked browsers.

I believe that's as they're trying to live in what amounts to a toxic wasteland. Users like us are done with the whole concept and as such I assume if CSS analytics becomes popular, then attempts will be made to bypass that too.

I think you misunderstand the concern, suppose a user enters gov.mil as a domain to test with which they are unaffiliated.

The tools test it and with disastrous affect all governmental and military services go offline.

It would be reasonable to then take legal action against the platform rather than the user, as the user did not confirm they had permission to perform testing or that they understood the risks involved.
