Would you be willing to pay for the content you get for free from sites like YouTube, Reddit, and HackerNews?

If you pay, you still get tracked. PS: And now they have your name, address, email and CC on file.

Also an important data point: (1) you have disposable income and (2) you are willing to pay.

Youtube at least puts a price on this: $12/mo. $18 for a family of 5.

And then you can't use the incognito mode when you don't want to mess up your recommendations.

YouTube has a setting to pause watch/search history. I'm sure they still track these things being the scenes, but I've found that removing videos from watch history is enough to keep similar things off my feed.

Yeah, that's something I don't trust at all: that they don't feed it into every single machine learning model available to them.

The ad industry as a whole is absolutely untrustworthy. Even you pay you can't trust not to be tracked.

I'd be willing to pay the 5 cents a month or whatever it works out to be

If you're talking Facebook in the US, it will be ~40$, I would think it would be around the same for Youtube.
