    Do this, instead of banning YouTube subscriptions and forcing me to rely on the algorithmic feed (I’m over 18, just don’t want to give google my ID).

    Do this, instead of making Steam delete my library of thousands of dollars of games (allegedly).

    Do this, instead of banning accounts on a bunch of social media apps but NOT TELLING US WHICH APPS WILL BE BANNED.

    In short, it’s only tangentially related but I wanted to vent about the e-karen.

        And it’s working far better than the social media ban ever could.

        It doesn’t solve the issue entirely, but rather than get it over the line all the things the e-Karen is doing will take us in the opposite direction.

      You don’t have to provide your ID, that is misinformation. There will be alternative measures in place for all services covered by the “social media ban”. You can also export your YouTube subscriptions to a different app and continue receiving a personalised feed whilst signed out. Apps like Grayjay and NewPipe allow you to do this.

        You don’t need to provide your ID documents, but you do need to provide your identity. I was being hyperbolic but technically what I said was still correct. I’ve already installed Freetube just in case my account gets deleted.
