I've been sending YouTube links to my online friends through my "anonymous" Discord account for years without deleting the little code appended to the end of the link because I didn't think it'd matter all that much but apparently Google implemented a feature a few weeks ago that uses that code to identify the person who generated the share link and essentially dox them to the person or people with whom that link is shared.So if you're signed into YouTube (which I pretty much always am) when you generate a link to share with someone outside of YouTube, that someone will be presented with a little message at the bottom of their screen that says, "Sent by [your YouTube channel name and handle]" accompanied by your pfp.There was no notification that this feature was being implemented. I didn't even know about it until today because of a tweet I saw that mentioned it. My Discord friends know my real name and what my face looks like now. I've also posted these links to my blog and to various other website all under circumstances where anonymity was intended. How fucked am I?
they're remote viewers from the cia anon glowniggers can use your public google profile to dox you at the nsa too
>>109049806this is literally all made up. btw what you're describing is actually a real feature on tiktok. lmao
>>109049806you finally got the memo. better late than never.
just stop going on discord, you don't need friends, i removed all my friends (who were all from highschool) from steam a decade ago, i don't care to deal with their elitism or "keeping up with the joneses"
>>109049806Wait, but if you generate the share link, can't you see that it's longer than the regular url? We've known about those tracking urls for a while now, although I didn't know they were this intrusive. Is there any way to see that "Sent by [name]" without posting it to Discord? I'm not a big Discord user.
>>109049834Nope, they've added it to YouTube now. It's been that way for about two weeks as far as I can tell. https://www.youtube.com/shorts/P__Z5LLzXiwIt's on by default and applies retroactively to links generated years ago.
>>109049806>How fucked am I?Extremely. But not because you doxxed yourself, you're a random nobody on the internet, who gives a shit that John Smith send them the message and not bigbootyhunter69.No, you're fucked because you're incredibly retarded, how can you not notice this for literal years? Did your parents drop you when you were a toddler or something?
>>109049845>Wait, but if you generate the share link, can't you see that it's longer than the regular url?Yeah I knew it was there I just didn't think it did anything important.
>>109049835>>109049806I love being right. I've been removing all ?query strings from my URLs since 2011, and told others to do it too.Some didn't listen. Today they suffer.
>>109049835i simply replace all the variables in "?utm_bullshit=___" with NIGGERnow CIA glowniggers fly over my house
Does this still happen if you have a Google account but no YT channel set up? I've tried copying some links I've sent in the past to a separate browser and I'm not seeing anything that indicates they're from me specifically
>>109049806>Willingy sharing tracking linksFucking retards on this board. Why not just copy the url instead of the share button? Why not just use the url cleaner ublock script?
>>109049806instagram does the same thing
I don't open google docs links because of this reason. Not sure if it's a problem but I don't want to take the risk. Am I retarded?
>>109049931very wise actually cuz google docs and google photos will literally put you in a list with everybody else who's ever viewed the document that is accessible to everyone who views the document unless you use incognito mode but if you're on mobile it'll just take you to the app regardless. google really loves doing people for no reason.
>>109049806idgaf what your gay discord friends think
>>109049806That's what you get for not reflexively deleting trackers from links before sending them, the entire point has always been that the tracker part of the URL is associated with your account for analytics purposes. So obviously they could've always chosen to do this and they just didn't until now. Literally one of the first reddit-tier things I learned about on the internet was trackers in links, it's proper opsec to delete that shit, and if you weren't already doing it, you got what was coming to you. Anyways it's completely over, you lose. Any one of those people can just dox you now anytime they want, especially if you ever sent a link in a public server. Better luck next time.
>>109049945I just looked it up and apparently this doesn't happen for publically shared docs unless you're in the same organization or the link was shared to your e-mail address specifically. Still it doesn't feel right. If I absolutely need to I'll open it in an incognito tab
>>109049979huh. i wonder if they changed it. i used to click on google drive links from reddit all the time and my pfp would pop up beside dozens of other people but that was years ago.
>>109049918Why is this normal now. Anonymity used to be the default
>>109049973>>109049806it is wise to use a different computer or at the very least different local users for your work/real life stuff and for interacting with online goobersif you are copying files or links from one to the other it *should* be tedious and you should think twice if you really need to cross the beamsplus use a vpn or something for one or both of them (different ones) so something that logs your ip publicly in both (irc for example) cant be correlated as easilyor even just some admin at a site you use seeing two different users from the same ip
>>109049806Why not just copy the video url from the url bar?
>>109050017NTA, but I remember the same thing. Thankfully my anonymous account doesn't have an insane name, otherwise my co-workers who shared a doc would've met AnalObliterator69.
>>109050017Apparently it anonimizes your name from the perspective of the other users, something with animal names. I'm still not comfortable with it
>>109050036>download image to post on the chan>it's on my desktop>next to a medical document>mfw one moment of inattention away from anons knowing I am acoustic
>>109050044I thought the animal thing was just to represent the users not logged in. But I will admit I never looked into it, I do most of my browsing incognito.
>>109050044Pretty sure those are just the auto-generated names for anonymous users, like when someone is visiting in an incognito tab
Apparently, you should enable everything in uBO under Privacy. "AdGuard/uBO – URL Tracking Protection" is supposed to do the URL cleaning part. I'm not sure on how well it works, especially if you're copying a link to another app it probably won't do anything.
>>109050058I was cropping images and accidentally pressed ctrl+v in an msn convo with one on my clipboardthere was no prompt it just instantly sent the imageit was a pretty lewd drawing
>>109050101I once accidentally posted a pornstar name I had copied into a Twitch chat. It was one of those "follow and interact to win games" sort of sweepstakes streams that were popular a while back (but Twitch started banning them). Nobody noticed though, it was a fast moving chat. The best part? It was a tranny pornstar.
>>109049806>My Discord friends know my real name and what my face looks like now.Your fault. Why would you have anything personal like your name and face on youtube of all places?
>>109050094Update: it doesn't seem to do much when you copy the url to paste outside the browser. Maybe CleanURLs works better? I don't use it because it tends to break certain features on some mainstream sites (including Google).
>>109050101>bought something from an anon on ebay who could then see my full nameI'm lucky that was a cool dude, and I don't have ebay anymore
>>109050060both, I think?
>>109050130>it doesn't seem to do much when you copy the url to paste outside the browserWhat reason would you ever have to copy/paste outside the browser?Surely you're using Discord in the browse, not the memelectron app right?
>>109049973i don't really get the doxing thing. at the end of the day is just some loser with no authority accusing someone of having this identity or frequenting some website. maybe it's more credible in the cases where some big twitter account dox themselves, but even then just deny everything. people irl are already predisposed to presume your innocence, they would rather lied to themselves than admit someone they know is a horrible person. unless they absolutely hate you, but then they will believe anything whether true or false. even if some tranny tracks down your boss and gives him a call literally just tell somoene's trolling you, falsely accusing you of a bunch shit, stealing your identity, etc. does anyone remeber the "laptop from hell" that was literally absolute irrefutable proof the the president's son was a crackhead, not only that but he was also crack his dead brother's wife and daughter with his huge cock, literally hundreds of pics with his nice looking at him with cockdrunk eyes. all of that and to this day not a single democrat was persuaded.
>>109050130Use Actually Legitimate URL Shortener Tool in ublock origin or the built in firefox link cleaner you tard
>>109049806so you mad because your friends know your name and facethey got death notes? what's the big deal
>>109050243>people irl are already predisposed to presume your innocence, they would rather lied tothemselves than admit someone they know is a horrible person.It's the opposite actually, this is how us autists think, but normalfags are constantly looking for reasons to boost themselves socially. If you do something that is socially unacceptable, no matter whether or not you are in their good graces, you are basically advertising that anybody can claim free social capital by ostracizing and condemning you, the only reason it doesn't apply to politicians is because political sides-ism is part of that virtue signalling instinct, but they won't hesitate to cannibalize you whenever they see an opening
>>109049835>>109049869OP's problem is different and a bit more recent. If you share social media posts they use those identifiers to doxx you to persons you shared it with and if those people send the link to others that'll get you doxxed too and so on.
>>109049806my youtube name is my real nameidgaf if i'm doxxed, i'm not ashamed of what i am, i am literally your better.
>>109050243>laptop from hellWealthy sociopathic neets like Hunter Biden can afford to pay for propaganda to shape the opinions of the unthinking normalfag herd and their power and wealth already give them a halo effect that makes normalfags ignore any flaw. >>109050284Yeah, normalfags are constantly looking for easy ways to level up their social capital. They basically farm low level trash like lolcows, autists and failed normalfags.
>>109050284it depends on your standing with your social group. if the accusation comes from some anonymous nobody from kiwifarms, nobody will believe it, if it comes from your girlfriend, you're fucked.
>>109049847>he didn't remove the unnecessary garbage from his URLyou asked for this though.
>>109050034Anyone have the image cap of old youtube warning against using real names for accounts?
>>109049806Why were you signed into an account with your real name? Why were you using the official YT front end to begin with?
>>109049806Shared reddit links are even worse. These are completely uniquely generated, so there isnt even a way to remove the tracking bit from it.
>>109050528that's why you copy from the address bar instead of using the "share" function.
You faggots copy the links from the share function and not the address bar? What is wrong with you
you should assume this is always happening on every platform. any time i need to share a link like that i open the page in a separate browser that isn't signed into anything and copy the link from that. this should be your default behavior, it is basic internet hygiene. you should also be aware of referrer urls and copy paste links into new tabs instead of using hyperlinks. absolute day 1 stuff in avoiding their data collection on you.
>>109049806At least there is one with the same problem! I also did it for some time with my account. Same with fucking TikTok, but at least they have an option to disable it.>If you send ANY link, just go to linkcleaner dot app and clean it, or if you open ANY link, just put it in there, it will get rid of all the trackers and ref links from your normie friends.>Start using nitter dot net, if you receive a Xitter link, copy it and replace the x dot com with nitter dot net.>Use multiple browsers, 1 for accounts and private stuff, 1 anon browser and a daily driver.
>>109049806remove the si=...
>>109049806We told you to use brave.
what are you scared of being doxxed for?
>>109049806I installed a script that would automatically cut this bullshit as soon as they introduced it. Even tracking aside, the main reason I'm pressing share is to get a shorter link, don't add extra garbage to it you fucking retards.Complete global enshittification.
>>109051341ublock origin||youtu.be^$removeparam=si
||youtu.be^$removeparam=si
>>109049806now you know so you can remove the bit but alsocant confirm but it is 100% technically possible for them to do some time, frequency, etc.. or any other funny flavor of statistical analysis without the trackerjust be aware that there's no perfect solution and consider it compromised or rather the information lies in some way or form within the google servers
>>109051185hey do me a favor can you please post your full legal name, phone number, email address, home address and a photo of your face please
>send friend a link to a youtube vid>viewed it from my favorites so it sent the whole list which is apparently public by default for some reason>favorites list is 50% fap fuel, 40% weebshit music and 10% funny vids
>>109051413Pro tip: before you send any kind of link, open what you copied to your clipboard in an incognito window first
>>109051413for me it was full of jap jazz fusion, kek
>>109049806>Why do you have your real name on your youtube account? Are you retarded?
>>109051413>youtube fapfuelhit me with some recs big dawg
haha get fucked faggot
>>109051450It's a holdover from when they were trying to make Google+ happen. A lot of people's YouTube channels are still just their full legal names because they haven't bothered to change their usernames after YouTube comments and Google+ posts were decoupled.
At this point I just don't care anymore.Yeah that's my name and face, yes I am linking you garbage. Judge me if you must, this is the real me.
>>109052152this is basically the thought process i used when my ex sent my pornhub channel to almost everyone in my workplace about ten years ago. like yeah sure here's a bunch of videos of me ina miniskirt knotfucking a vast array of dragon dildos, sue me. we all have our hobbies.it's a great mindset to have. that type of shit can only really destroy you if you care enough to let it.
>>109049898Not him, but sometimes I send links of songs to people. When you copy the address from the context menu of the link in the search results, it includes tracking data. The options area) manually remove the suffix every time (I do this, but it's annoying) b) click the link, wasting bandwidth on loading a page with tons of tracking scripts and a video that will auto downloadc) keep the link as-is and get tracked
>>109049806>>109051413This sounds like OP's issue. He copy pasted an URL with a video from a playlist without removing the part of the URL associated with the playlist. Always double check the URL and use offline incognito tabs.
>>109050284A big piece you're missing is projection. Most normgroids are humongous steaming shit puddles, and because of their emotional immaturity they think everyone else is, too. They assign their own motivations to everyone around them, while at the same time disbelieving or ignoring motivations and traits they themselves don't have. You must understand this.
i swear some of you started using computers in the last 5 years.this is something you are supposed to have been doing forever.i started stripping links when i was like 12 or something.
>>109049806>So if you're signed into YouTube (which I pretty much always am)Play goyish games, win goyish prizes
>ctrl+l>ctrl+c>ctrl+v???
>>109049945>google docs and google photos will literally put you in a list with everybody else who's ever viewed the document that is accessible to everyone who views the documentNot true.
>>109050039This.
>>109050265>built in firefox link cleaner you tardA *native* link cleaner on Firefox? That feature doesn't exist.
>>109050124This.
>>109053100Correct, they're also 99% likely to automatically get you even in incognito mode due to user agent fingerprinting. You need to use something like TOR browser which deliberately presents a homogenized front among users.
>>109050243There are plenty of nutjobs ready and willing to liferuin an internet rando for the lulz.
>>109050298>idgaf if i'm doxxed, i'm not ashamed of what i am, i am literally your better.You'll be singing a different tune when people weaponize your digital footprint to ruin your life.
>>109050563This.
>>109051185He's scared of being outed on the Discord server. The trannies he chats with will use that information to (probably) ruin his life.
>>109051941Skill issue.
>>109053128>99% likely to automatically get you even in incognito mode due to user agent fingerprinting.Not true.
>>109049806I started deleting the source identifier ever since it was introduced a few years ago because I'm not retarded, so this is a non-issue for me
>>109049806>So if you're signed into YouTubeLmao, FreeTube+NewPipe Chads stay winning
>>109053156ok glower
>>109053178I accept your concession.
>>109053185if youtube was keeping decades of link strings valid for retroactive user lookup, you can bet your ass google is broadly keeping user agent strings and page visit history for the same purpose
>>109053109nta + idk abt Firefox but in brave I can right click, 'copy clean link' and all of the tracking params are removed.I know SoundCloud does the tracking too. Pretty much every time you get some shortened URL with some ominous kind of uuid slug, go into a private tab, paste it, clean up the link and then you're good to share.Also don't use the built-in share button are you people stupid?
>>109053201Google Docs and Google Photos don't keep logs of every visitor. For Docs, specifically, there *is* a log if someone *edits* the text.
>>109053208Firefox has a "Copy Clean Link" option in the context menu, too.
>>109053209>Google Docs and Google Photos don't keep logs of every visitorlol
>>109053209oh i see you're not a glowie, you're just a naive retard
>>109053214>>109053222Prove me wrong, faggots.
>>109053230see the recent revelations about youtube links. they know, and your exposure is totally dependent on their discretion
>>109049806People will throw insults at you because they are worthless humans who get off on being better, but this is a good learning opportunity for you. Rather than just stripping out visible tracking data, stop tying identities to things that you want to share anonymously. Assume more gets leaked than you want by default. If you take a screenshot, assume your hostname and everything else gets captured. If you want to take a IRL picture, always assume that there's a tiny reflection that you can't see that shows your face. etc.
>>109053156>>99% likely to automatically get you even in incognito mode due to user agent fingerprinting.>Not true.they identify you but at least they probably wont send all their data on you to your friends you send links tothey will however send it to their advertiser buddies behind your back
>>109053241Deflecting. I, again, accept your concession.
>>109053268Your retarded statement doesn't prove there's a log that tracks "everybody else who's ever viewed the document that is accessible to everyone who views the document."
>>109053279ok true I dont buy that last part about it being accessible for everyone completely but you act (on purpose or not) as if they do less tracking than they do
couldve been easily avoided by just copying the link from the address bar,
>>109053289>but you act (on purpose or not) as if they do less tracking than they doI know Google tracks its users. That behavior was not relevant to the Google Docs/Photos visitor logging falsehoods.
>>109050563>>109053145From your own side, sure. But when you click this link that has been shared from a friend, it will immediately connect your identity to theirs. They can map out your entire social network just by you and others in your social circle clicking these links.
>>109049806>generated the share linkwhat does that even mean? just copy the link from the address bar
>>109053466>he doesn't simply copy the beginning portion of a URL and paste it into the address bar, then educate his friend about not sending tracker urls
>>109049806JUST COPY AND PASTE FROM THE ADDRESS BAR BRO ARE YOU RETARDED?
>>109053100>google docs and google photos will literally put you in a list with everybody else who's ever viewed the documenttrue>that is accessible to everyone who views the documentcoming soon
>>109049806>generate urlJust copy and paste the url from your browser. It's really simple and straightforward.
>>109049806going into the archives and looking for anons who posted with that link
>>109054453https://archive.4plebs.org/_/search/text/%3Fsi%3D/
>>109054453>>109054485Holy kek this has potentialToo bad it doesn't work for me so I can't confirm whether the thing op is talking about is real.
>>109054604dont know if ive ever pasted a tracker with my main. but now ive gone and changed the name to be cautious, Google is fucking retarded
>>109052324I wasn't really worried about tracking data in the abstract, only now that it's potentially showing channel/Google account names. I only really sent YT links over Discord with one person anyway, so I just went back and deleted those.
>>109055864To clarify, I was only wondering if this also happens if you have a Google account but no YT channel associated with it.
>>109054366>trueNot true. No one has proved otherwise.
>>109053526This is not possible with reddit / s / links. And they don't care. They just use the spyware app and only share those links.
>>109049877smart
>>109052230Or you could not be a degenerate.
>>109049806Instagram and tiktok has been doing this for ages now im not surprised that youtube hopped on the trend too
>>109051413>viewed it from my favorites so it sent the whole list which is apparently public byThat's been a "feature" for years, anon...
>>109057233>reddit / s / linksI've never seen one of those in my life
>>109053252Great way to become an asocial paranoid schizophrenic. No thanks.
>>109053298>>109053521You can't copy the url from the address bar if you are on the youtube app you retards. Also, it's much and faster and easier to just get the link fron the share button than from the addres bar if you are on PC.
>>109053893>>109054430Retards see >>109058255
>>109052324Stop speculating and answer the question retard
>>109049847I literally can't find where I'm supposed to go to turn this off on desktop
>>109054430>>109058255You also need the share feature if you want to share a video with an exact timestamp
>>109050429
>>109049918And tiktok (my friend sends me tiktoks and I download them via yt-dlp)I can see his profile
>>109057824rather get doxxed being a degenerate 2bh
>>109058255Retard, you can edit it in the clipboard.
>>109050114Took a candid photo (degenerate behavior) of a curvy woman at a store, wanted to send a meme to a friend, meme and creepshot are right next to each other, can you guess what happen.
>>109053252>IRL picture, always assume that there's a tiny reflectionThere was an article about this from Bellingcat, I think it was a Russian hitman/spy don't remember was out on a stroll in a busy city center, bellingcat investigated when it was taken by what sign was being displayed in the background. Even having the sun in your picture is a good enough to figure out your general location.
>>109049806can you post the links to check it out?
>>109051413yeah I remember when I discovered that my favorites was public many years ago and was like wtf, people can see that I like conspiracy videos, set it to private and moved on
Once again I win by being friendless
instagram does this; i didn't know about youtube. that's why I use a burner to follow certain accounts and send content to others.
>>109058331you can only turn it off by first downloading the app and signing in
I just tested this by clicking on my own share link in a private tab and I don't see my account appearing anywhere. Am I missing something? Tried it on desktop and mobile
>>109049806>Using a Google account>"Google is doxxing me"Are you retarded? No shit that was going to happen.
>>109059143Same here, I tested on desktop only.
>>109059143same
does your gmail get shared? or just your youtube channel name? either way it's pretty gay, but whatever.
>>109051424I have some paranoia when sharing links that I always check it myself like you suggested first before sharing it.
>>109059143So I finally figured it out. It only happens when you use the share button in the youtube app. Doesn't seem to happen when you use the desktop site (I think). It's pretty in your face too, shows up like an annoying pop-up.
>>109059244Thank god I use pipepipe only. But let's not relax just now, google absolutely adds an &si= query string to links shared on desktop too, so they might just activate this shit there too.
>>109058637That's not the addres bar you retard
>>109059244Post a screenshot you fucking retard
>>109058255>if you are on the youtube appfound your problem
>>109058255>youtube appphone fags don't deserve good things
>>109049806Links with timestamps in them can also identify you, which is why you see them on this site so often.Strip everything but the basic link.
>>109049806>he logs into google/youtubeI might do this occasionally to just check an email on an old email I used. Why are you doing this all the time?
>>109049841>just stop going on discordPeople that talk on discord are not worth your time and are so tech inept they don't understand there are much much better alternatives.
>>109049806why did you use your real name for your google account, anon?
>>109050034Because big data networks are crooks that want to steal your identity to frame you for crimes and keep you out of work so you don't have enough money to track them or so you're desperate enough you will be forced to do menial labour that never pays enough or is used to build your eventual replacement.You starving to death is none of their business. >is what they think>in reality, they're about to starve too because of issues with demand dying rapidly, we're already seeing bubbles pop now
>>109051185Because someone might pretend to be me to groom family members, friends and such. I've known people that have been catfished already. >b-but I have nothing to hide!From the innocent cops maybe, not from crooks.
>>109051413Reminds me of a time where, as a kid, I avoided yt because it was full of nothing but porn at that stage and seemed shit to me.
>>109052152>Yeah that's my name and faceNo, it's their name and face now. :^)Biometric scanners are really fucking stupid. Not only does your body change over time, but also your DNA. And systems generally have to be vague enough to allow for the fact that you might modify your body and features. Utterly useless.
>>109059888why would you use YouTube logged out? you can't make playlists or save videos to them, and your recommendations are going to consist entirely of political rageb8, AI slop and brainrot for toddlers.
>>109054485none of these links are saying who's sharing them with me
Is this retroactive? All the old si links I sent are they not compromised? I deleted my YouTube in January because I was afraid of this exact thing happening. I tried opening the links and none of them prompted me anything. I guess I'm in the clear?
>>109060273Also by YouTube I mean I deleted and nuked my entire gmail and started from scratch.
>>109060286>>109060273>Deleted your entire gmail altogether I'm 99.9% sure you're safe anon. It's dead. Especially you doing that before this kicked into over drive. It's a dead account.
>>109058066I am sorry you don't have friends.
>>109060273If you deleted your account outright and this long ago you have nothing to fear. I'd recommend anyone right now delete their shit.
>>109060094Lmao what a retard
>>109060094See >>109053172
>>109049806why do you generate share links instead of copying from your address bar? are you retarded?there's no reason for "generating" a youtube link.
>>109060566You do realize 80% of posters even here use mobile right?
>>109053209>Google Docs and Google Photos don't keep logs of every visitor.Explain to me why they wouldn't. It's effortless, just more data to be collected. Why would the not store it? Why would a data-harvesting company make an exception here? For what gain and purpose?
>>109049806>giving YT your real name and photo>always signed into YT>didn't remove a unique tracking ID when publicly sharing links from said accountSeveral mistakes in a row lead to this. At least you know now, hope you learn from it.
>>109060928As for me I had a dead end Smurf account unlike this guy. Never had my real name or info on my account and it was a dead account hardly used. No public anything. I also deleted it myself like some others before all this shit. If they click my old si links they'll go no where. Some of us saw the writing on the wall. Shame this idiot didn't think twice.
>>109053209They do absolutely keep logs of every visitor, but they aren't exposed to users.
>>109059111I did this and the option still won't show up. I wonder if my account doesn't count as a "channel" since I dont have any videos and dont leave comments or if its because I dont have access to toggle thos privacy feature based on location
Alright guys try to see if you can identify me:https://youtu.be/OAo8qdcvhlM?is=bdZJWlf8mkKcMhvjI want to know if OP is bullshitting or not. Here's the link without the tracking:https://youtu.be/OAo8qdcvhlM?It's just a random video, let's test OP's scenario I don't care if I get "doxxed".
If you're on iOS you have to be careful because the url it gives you when you use the share button is an actual link, not just a url. So even if you delete the identifier on the text the identifier is still embedded in the href part of the link. You have to paste it in notes and re-copy the text without the embedded link. Wouldn't be surprised if Android did the same thing.
>>109049851dude chill almost no one knew about this..
>>109060860Irrelevant. Google can collect whatever data it wants. The point is normies using Google Docs or Photos do not see a log of people, signed or not, viewing their documents, photos, or albums.>>109061262>they aren't exposed to users.That's exactly the point.
>>109061689>The point is normies using Google Docs or Photos do not see a log of people, signed or not, viewing their documents, photos, or albums.Yet. But the data is there for it to be a possibility. Would be quite monetizable.
>>109061620Definitely never did on android
>>109049806Serves you right for using the share button instead of just copying the url from the address bar. And before you say something about it being more convenient, it's actually not. It takes two clicks to copy it from the address bar and three clicks to copy it using the share button.
>>109050886Nobody actually wants to use your coward adware platform. Remember the BAT camel nose? Real 'tists are on Tor Browser and Mullvad Browser!
>>109064254LARPThat browser doesn't even clean up links.
>>109053128>TORTell me you're a greenhorn normie without telling me explicitly.
>>109064331It doesn't need to, it is purely rebranded Tor Browser without the Tor router. Tor Browser doesn't "clean the links" either. Coward users are using a browser which started life as an ad delivery platform. Cope.
>>109051413Reminds me when Sonic the Hedgehog director forgot to put his Twitter on private and everyone saw him liking creampie porno
>>109064471Star trek is woke
>>109049806Well thanks for the warning at least. Can't get too careless with OPSEC
>>109064473Based director.
>>109063910Okay then tell me where the addres bar is on the youtube app you retard
>>109064510What are you operating?
>>109059774>>109059859I accept your concession
>>109061592did nothing for me, this is fucked up if true but it doesn't appear so?
>>109064822Serves you right for watching youtube on your phone.
>>109064455tor browser plus opsec is the best you can actually get for anonymity, and yes im aware of its and the EFF's history. just using a regular browser on your machine with a particular window area will fingerprint you regardless of your attempts to obfuscate your IP.
>>109049806>signed into youtubeOoof
>>109060110I guess that Youtube might know from what app/site you are coming from and decides to tell you who shared it based on that? If you copy/pasted those link in private Discord server or other would it then tell you the name because it thinks its been given to you that way?
>has a youtube account>always logged in>account has his real name and photo>"i care about privacy"huh?
>>109066160There are videos you can't see without being logged in
>>109050886cute lips chuddy! do you suck cocks with them?
>>109067590the couple of times i've run into one that i also wanted to watch, they were of the edgier variety and mirrored outside of youtube anyway
>>109049806>online friends>"anonymous" Discord accountUse case? Touch grass and get some bitches fr cuh
>>109049806skill issue
>>109049806>he has a YouTube account with his real name and face
>>109049806I don't use my real name or photo for YouTube. It's an online nickname that I already use everywhere.
>>109062056Not the point of the original discussion.
>>109069593>an online nickname that I already use everywhere.still poor opsec
bet OP was sending lewd body pics/crossdressing/other degen Discord shit and that's why he's so offended
>>109049806I was gonna ask why you're not using the "Copy Clean Link" option in Firefox every time, then I realized all of you fucking freaks stopped using Firefox. Can't say it's my problem!
>>109049806install vencordit's a plugin handler for discordjust update discord, patch it with vencord, and if it's working you will see a "Vencord settings" category in the discord settings. if it's not working then another discord update is likely pending, so do that and patch it again.then go to plugins and install clearurlsit automatically removes the tracking parts of URLs before sending messages even if your stupid ass has it on your clipboard and you're deliberately trying to send it with trackingjust be aware that vencord occasionally needs to be updated manually, so if you're actually an irl schizo it'd be better to just get in the habit of copying clean linksyou can read through the list of hundreds of plugins but only the ones in picrel were of any use to me
>>109072469nevermind i read OP too fast and blurry eyed the details still useful though
>>109049877This.This is much better than removing it.Although, you should be generating realistic fake data rather than something easily scrub-able.Or, look for an official youtube automated posting and use that one. They eff up all the time.It’s not enough to block cookies, headers, use fake names, etc. you have to *poison* the data proactively.Click on some of the links and make carts that have to be stored… things like that.
