First, there are comments that deny what I said and there are also comments that confirm it. At least for what involves my country, Brasil, this is not some crazy thing in my head but an established fact.

I don’t want congratulations for absolutely nothing. I haven’t changed any settings either. My YouTube has had history turned off for ages and still had home screen functionality based on subscriptions and reacted videos and it sucked back when history was on too. The post was simply pointing out how mildly irritating it is that YouTube acts like it’s a feature that warrants the legal license to commercially use my viewing data.
