Just a small heads up; ive noticed a uptick in links spread on Reddit, 4chan and even here to collaborative playlist from youtube, spotify and similar with very non or very few followers. All coming from new accounts.
Its a common way to fish for your personal data. They will make a new list and post it in only certain posts/threads and wait for you to subscribe with your account.
An easy way to protect yourself is by setting your phone or pc to open links in a second browser where you are not logged into anything. Set it to delete cookies on exit.
Thank you for coming to my ted talk.
For those who want to “subscribe” to a channel without having a YouTube account, use RSS feeds. There are feed readers on (almost) all platforms. For browsing YouTube, you can use Piped, Invidious or another frontend. (And if you’re using a non-smartphone computer, you can just download or stream videos in your feeds with youtube-dl)
Also, instead of modifying Firefox and potentially worsening your fingerprint, you might as well use Arkenfox, LibreWolf or something similar that’s already set up for privacy-conscious use
