>implying there is no tracking when watching a video on a Google owned platform

Use a VPN, use a private window, never log in.

I posted an example of how advertising could be done in a more sensible way, not a ridiculous claim that Google doesn't track everything they possibly can.

i mean my comment wasn't trying to imply that was what you were suggesting. it was more along the lines of suggesting that in video organic and sponsored ads by content creators isn't going to stop you from being tracked. even with a VPN, a private window, and staying logged out, they can still likely fingerprint you so you better use noscript too! the point is there's no way to not be tracked short of removing the things that facilitate the tracking in the first place.
