    I’d probably be paying for YouTube, if it were run by a normal media company instead of the world’s largest spy network and personal data broker. There’s no way in hell I’m giving them my credit card information.

      Yeah I don’t really care about value when it comes to giving money to the guys who work with the NSA and CIA to find ways to more thoroughly spy on every user 24/7, and turned every search into “You asked for x, here’s a dozen pages of what the State Department thinks you should have searched for instead”

      Not to mention their genocide profiteering: https://www.mintpressnews.com/project-nimbus-billion-google-amazon-partners-israel/280087/

        It’s not even about the money, it’s literally about the credit card information, and the massive amount of data linked to it.

          Do they not already know who you are and what you purchase anyway? I’m wondering how much of a difference it makes.

            Whether they do or not, Google doesn’t know that that person is the same person as the one who is using YouTube.

          I would pay for a lot more things if I could do it anonymously

      Data gathering/brokering and payment information security are not really connected. PCI compliance standards are well standardized and fairly strict.

      I would trust Google to handle payment information securely over any ‘media’ company.

      If personal data was regulated at even the fraction of what payment data goes through we would all be better off.

      They already have your information, bud. Sorry.

        They quite literally don’t have my credit card information. What are you even trying to say here?
