First time I've ever seen somebody on HN request to change a neutral headline to a biased headline.

This is a he said/she said dispute. Taking either side's statements at face value is just foolish.

It won’t be the last.

This submission would have been better as a blog post by a third party analyzing both of their statements.

You are unhappy that a blog post from April does not respond to claims made today?

(Disclosure: I work for Google, speaking only for myself)

I have no feelings on the matter personally, other than my general dislike of both Roku and YouTube for being more interested in getting paid for reselling my personal data than for delivering me an experience worth paying for. Perhaps someone else will have personal data to share with you. Sorry!
Its a sign of the times. There's a lot of people, especially on the right, whose only experience with "news" is actually editorialized media. There's a "groupthink" and tribal element here too. This person wants to push their anti-Google bias views as fact, when in reality if you dig down into this dispute there's no clear villain.
